Many of the pueblitos show an unusual masonry style. Rather
than bond the walls together in overlapping, horizontal courses, the walls seem to be
built of "columns" of stacked stones. Kin Naa Dáá, or "Maize House,"
was put up this way, in stark contrast to ancestral Pueblo construction or the masonry
techniques of the historic Pueblos. Excavated by Earl Morris in 1915, this pueblito was
built around 1727.
