- Context
- Charcoal from Feature 2, a shallow hearth assoc with an occupation along Dillon Gulch, with a date that is thought to be roughly contemporaneous with the earliest Ute occupation of the area. No cultural material in fill. Burned rock suggests the feature may have been a baking/roasting pit. No measurements given. Jones (1986a) shows the date to be 864 +/- 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.
