- Context
- Feature 1 hearth. One of 2 dates from the hearth. Hearth in F-1 pithouse, Locus. Large, subrectangular structure, 6.5 x 6.1 m in dia, 2.11 m deep. Household assemblage likely left in place at abandonment. Oriented S. Unprepared floor, plastered walls, remodeled at one time. Roof fall defined by a black organic lens that descendedover the bench to within 30 cm of the floor. Roof fall rich in artifacts. Vent shaft extended SSW. Four-post roof support system (2 located, set in from the wall). Filled with washed-in lenses, suggesting posts were removed for use elsewhere. 15 subfeatures. Zea mays found in heath. Part of a bench present along the E edge of the structure (mostly washed into structure). Black bear skull found on floor; also GS, awls, deer long bone rags, grayware vessels, ornaments, a ceramic pipe. Interpreted as purposefully burned at abandonment, but main posts salvaged. Likely that it is contemporaneous with surface rooms at this locus.
