Recovered from Earl Morris' excavation of Room179-2, Aztec West Ruin. Morris (1928:375-376) indicates that “The ashy refuse containing some vegetable matter on the floor of Room 179-2 averaged 2 ½ feet in thickness. From it came four grooved axes, two skinning knives, a sandstone slab, flint and obsidian chips, potsherds…[long list of artifacts]...Between the refuse and the fill of wall debris were the timbers, unburned, from the ceiling, among them a few fragments of the willow mats which had completely hidden the splint layer from view. The door in the west wall was 2 feet 62 inches wide, and 4 feet 1 inch high, with sill 1 foot 9 inches from the floor. Its entire north side had been dug away by the parties who searched the ruin for open rooms during the early eighties [1880s]…They tunnelled through the east wall of this chamber into Room 189 and from the latter went on to Room 182 by tearing out the masonry which sealed the top of the south doorway…”

该遗物出土于厄尔·莫里斯（Earl Morris）对阿兹特克西遗址（Aztec West Ruin）179-2号房址的发掘。
莫里斯（1928：375-376）记载："179-2号房址地面上含植物残体的灰烬堆积平均厚度达2.5英尺。其中出土了4件槽纹斧、2件剥皮刀、1块砂岩板、燧石与黑曜岩碎屑、陶片……[大量遗物清单]……在堆积与墙体碎屑填充层之间，是来自天花板的未燃烧木材，其中还夹杂少量柳编席残片，这些席片曾完全遮挡了木篾层。西墙的门宽2英尺62英寸，高4英尺1英寸，门槛距地面1英尺9英寸。19世纪80年代初期（1880年代），前来该遗址探寻可开放房址的发掘队将该房址北侧完全挖毁……他们从该房址东墙挖隧道进入189号房址，又从后者拆除封堵南门口上方的砌体，进入182号房址。"
