Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits, Tactile Exhibit

This small room, measuring some 13 ft. x 8.4 ft. is interpreted as a pantry. No step remains were uncovered by archaeologists, but the adobe fill did contain shards of earthenware and flat glass. This room's proximity to the kitchen supports its use as a pantry or root cellar.
