A granary, where sacred ritual pots, those of most importance and symbolism, is found as the central focus of the room.

The midden, or garbage pile, would be found outside but near the house. This pattern of artifact distribution based on artifact function would likely be repeated through the site, at most if not all of the habitation structures and living
