Context
Feature 6, a pit with charcoal that was subsequently reused as an artifact cache. At least 50 cm in dia., 20 cm deep. Originated 35 cm bmgs in the Spring Creek Paleosol and excavated into the stratum underlying the paleosol. Steep, regular sides; relatively flat bottom. Fill contained large charcoal frags. and 5 FCR. Artifacts: 7 flakes and 2 manos. Manos were found below a protective slab of FCR placed over the feature near the depth or origin. No oxidation noted. Interpreted as an expedient hearth, later repurosed as a cache pit.
