Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-007: Excavations at Little House (Site 5MT2191), a Pueblo I/Pueblo II field house.

Little House (Site 5MT2191) is a small Anasazi seasonal habitation or agricultural field house located approximately five miles northwest of Dolores, Colorado. The site was excavated during the summer of 1978 as part of the Dolores Project Cultural Resources Mitigation Program. Field operations were conducted during the months of July and August. A crew consisting of University of Colorado and Youth Conservation Corps personnel investigated the small surface structure comprising four small rooms and associated features. On the basis of ceramic analysis, Little House has been assigned to the early part of the McPhee Phase (AD 850 - 970). Site 5MT2191 was probably the seasonal abode for a small household or intrahousehold group practicing small-scale agriculture in the immediate site vicinity. It is inferred that the site was occupied only during the growing and harvest season (May- September). The lack of any major remodeling episodes and the small size of the material collection suggest that the site was in use for a short period of time, perhaps no more than a single generation.

小宅遗址（编号5MT2191）是一处小型阿纳萨齐（Anasazi）季节性居所或农田小屋，坐落于美国科罗拉多州多洛雷斯市西北约5英里处。该遗址于1978年夏季开展发掘工作，作为多洛雷斯项目文化资源缓解计划的一部分，田野作业实施于7月与8月期间。由科罗拉多大学（University of Colorado）人员与青年保护团（Youth Conservation Corps）成员组成的考古队伍，对这座包含4间小型房间及相关遗迹的地表建筑遗存进行了考古探查。通过陶器分析，该小宅遗址被归为麦克菲期（McPhee Phase）早期阶段（公元850年—970年）。5MT2191遗址大概率是某一小型家庭或家庭内部群体的季节性居所，该群体在遗址周边区域开展小规模农业生产。据推断，该遗址仅在作物种植与收获季（5月—9月）被使用。未发现任何大规模改建活动痕迹，且出土遗物体量较小，这表明该遗址的使用时长较短，或许仅为一代人的时间跨度。
