Context
Bulk soil sample from Feature 3, encountered 70 cm bs. S edge impacted by a backhoe trench, leaving ca. 50% intact. Probably had an overall length of ca. 180 cm and a max width of 75 cm; 18 cm deep. Fill was dark gray silty sand with 3 pieces of small FCR and 1 piece of debitage. No faunal remains. Size and low labor cost indicate that it was probably a hearth used for a limited period of time. Assigned to Component 1. The 46 specimens of faunal remains from Component were scattered betw features 3 and 4, and include the remains of Canis sp. and other mammals. Canis remains do not appear to be culturally derived.
