- Context
- hearth of Feature 1, pit structure. Meas. 6.3 x 6.25 m in dia., 2.53 m deep. Originally noted as a depression on the site. Floor was covered by thin, water-laid deposits. A slab-lined hearth was in the fill of the upper fill stratum, more than 1 m above the floor (brief reuse of site after abandonment?). Walls plastered, floor use compacted and slightly basin shaped. Bench circled nearly the entire circumference; missing on S and SE sides. Vent shaft present, slightly W of S. Roof supports (6), set at equal distances into the lower walls around the floor. Where they protruded above the bench, they were burned. Wing walls were probably present, but represented by melted adobe. Hearth had been remodeled and meas. 1 m in dia., 20 cm deep. Two pits N of the hearth are interpreted as sipapus. Large number of bone from floor fill, but few from floor contact. A few Rosa/Piedra B/W sherds from floor fill.
