- Context
- Juniper bark from a pile of cut juniper bark stacked in the back of the overhang (Feature 2). The feature meas. ca. 110 x 60 cm, 5-20 cm thick, located 5-15 cm bmgs. The bark was cut in fairly even strips, each ca. 25-35 cm long, 3-5 cm wide. A juniper stick with a burned end was also in the pile. Other artifacts in the feature: 4 pieces of cordage, twisted bark, and 3 basketry items. One of the pieces of cordage was wrapped in a burnle, estimated to be 3 m long; another is a segment of bow string, 2 frags. of medium diameter cordage. These suggest a work starion, particularly since one of the basketry items is a basket start.
