Context
Feature 2. The lab number is the same as one from the earlier investigations by Metcalf. Both are on a Feature 2, yet it seems clear that there are two Feature 2s. This date is from Alpine's investigations. The sample material is a bulk soil sample. This feature is a large, irregular pit in Block 1, bisected by Trench 1. It appeared in both trench walls. Meas. at least 227 cm in dia., only 13 cm thick; originated 27 cm bmgs in the Spring Creek Paleosol. Artifacts from fill: 3 expedient FSTs, 27 pieces of debitage, and 2 burned mano frags, along with faunal remains. The latter included 21 bone frags., including large artiodactyl. It is interpreted as an informal/expedient hearth or shallow roasting pit. It was also a discard locale for waste materials.
