1926年，小F.H.H.罗伯茨在新墨西哥州西北部查科峡谷的一处废墟中发现并挖掘了一个坑，坑里有8具不完整的成年和亚成年阿纳萨齐人的遗骸，这些遗骸被肢散并被故意破坏。损伤包括广泛的死前颅骨和颅骨后骨折、切割痕迹、铁砧-锤石磨损、烧伤、许多椎骨缺失和碎片末端抛光。总之，这六种死前损伤被认为是史前阿纳萨齐人同类相食的地形学特征。在两种解释模型的框架内讨论了小房子事件的可能原因——随机社会病理学和通过暴力手段制度化的社会控制。
A charnel pit that contained the disarticulated and intentionally damaged remains of eight incomplete adult and subadult Anasazi skeletons was found and excavated in 1926 by F.H.H. Roberts, Jr., at an AD 900 ruin he named Small House, located in Chaco Canyon, northwestern New Mexico. Damage includes extensive perimortem cranial and postcranial bone breakage, cut marks, anvil-hammerstone abrasions, burning, many missing vertebrae, and fragment end-polishing. Together, these six types of perimortem damage are believed to be the taphonomic signature of prehistoric Anasazi cannibalism. The possible cause of the Small House episode is discussed within the framework of two explanatory models--random social pathology and institutionalized social control by violent means.
