Site Layout
Seventeen sites (94%) are estimated to contain between zero and no more than five structures. Only
one site is estimated to contain more than five structures, and this site (LA80319) is estimated to contain
12 structures. The “typical” Navajo site in our study area contains at least two, but not more than five,
structures. The spatial separation of the structures within a site was noticeably patterned. Structures
were spaced either 3-16 meters apart, or 35-53 meters apart; very few were spaced either closer to or
farther away from the next nearest structure. (Note: the apparent southwest-northeast alignment of
structures merely reflects the angle of the pipelines along which these sites were discovered.)
