Context
Beam in pithouse fill. Pithouse was marked by a curved alignment of rocks and slabs. This represented the only well defined wall. Floor was clearly marked, apparently use packed. Beam was on or very near the floor.Structure appears to have originated ca. 60 cm bmgs, like the slab lined pit, but the description is not clear. Apparently about 5 m in dia. Also on or near the floor: Utah metate, 1 mano. Fill contained ceramics, bone scrap, debitage. Pollen from floor dominated by Cheno-ams, probably indicating procesing of goosefoot/amaranth. Beeweed, cattail, and maize pollen also present. Charred goosefoot and bulrush seeds found.
Comments
Emery Gray dominant, but Ivie Creek BW, Medicine BR, Sevier Gray, and unidentified ceramics in the fill
