Context
Feature 5, charcoal sample. Feature 5 is an intramural feature within Structure 1, on the E interior edge of the basin house. Meas. 70 x 68 cm with a max thickness of 31 cm. Encountered ca. 78 cm bd as a roughly circular stain. Fill was very dark gray brown and contained 1 bone frag. and 18 pieces of FCR. No artifacts. Based on the amount of FCR, Feature 5 is interpreted as a thermal feature. Its location along the interior edge suggests is was not a roasting pit, but may have been used to heat the house. Date falls within the Settled period of the Archaic era.
