Context
Charcoal from Feature 6, appeared as a circular dark stain ca. 170 cm in dia. Contained a lens of charcoal and light gravel in a basin-shaped depression. No evidence of intensely burned soil observed. Jones (1986a), gives a date of 3574 +/- 80. This is his conversion from Beta's Libby half life to the Cambridge half-life. For the sake of consistency within the database, the reader should use the Libby half-life, as have I.
