Context
From House 1 floor. A 2-roomed structure with a small shallow room/entry area adjoining a larger, deeper house basin. The large house meas. 5 to 5.8 m in dia, and was excavated to a maximum depth of ca. 0.8 m below the estimated original surface. Steep walled with a sloping floor. The adjoining room is more nearly circular, with a diameter of 3.5 to 3.9 m; excavated no more than 0.25 m below the original ground surface. It is saucer shaped in profile. Floor features are almost exactly the same in the larger and smaller rooms. Both have 2 slab-lined storage cists, a shallow hearth, and a cluster of shallow floor depressions. The main room has an additional small slab-lined feature near the center, and the smaller room is nearly filled by these floor features. Extra space exists around the N, W, and S perimeters of the larger basin room. No clear posthole pattern. Burned, stick impressed daub suggests mud plaster over a lattice. A thin clay lining may have been present on the floor, but this is not clear. House 1 fill: dark, organic, charcoal pieces, small pieces of basalt, numerous artifacts, faunal scrap, and some GS frags. Probably used as a trash dump during occupation of House 2. Slab-lined cists are extremely well chinked, and some of the slabs are metate and mano frags.
