- Context
- Pithouse floor. Pithouse was 5.05 x 4.75 m in dia., max. depth of 60 cm below dozer cut. Unprepared floor, moderately use packed; basin shaped, with post occupation structural collapse. Pithouse contained several small projectile points within 5 cm of the floor. Other artifacts: ground stone (including a slab metate) within 15 cm of the floor. Slab lined hearth. Pit 1: opening slightly undercut the N wall and meas. 80 x 56 cm in dia. Slabs probably originally surrounded the pit. Bottom of pit was 90 cm below the structure floor, with a diameter of 120 x 160 cm. Final use is interpreted as a large heating pit--possibly for heat treating chert cobbles and cores.
