- Context
- Feature 24, Shelter 3, Stratum BB, 326 cmbd. Near back wall of the shelter. It was 48 cm in dia., 7 cm deep. Upper fill was compacted ash with charcoal flecked sediments below. Perimeter was oxidized. 27 highly oxidized FCRs were found at the same level adjacent to the feature, along with a dense concentration of debitage. 197 pieces of bone were in the fill, a mixture of large and small mammals. Identified bone: sheep, deer/sheep/pronghorn, cottontail rabbit. Most of the bone was burned/calcined. Artifacts: 1 Rose Spring C/N point, other FSTs, 378 pieces of debitage. The feature is interpreted as a locus of biface manufacture and as a hearth used for generalized cooking; bone may have been processed for bone grease.
