Comments
"a large grindstone was found 20 cm south of both features 77 and 78 within level 4, but there is no way to directly associate this unusual artifact with one hearth or the other", also 3 frags of bone recovered. This is the oldest date associated with any feature from Level 4 within both Locus 1 and 2, however the authors note that given the surrounding dates, it seems "suspiciously too early".
