- Context
- Charcoal recovered by mechanical scraping of the fill in the W half of surface room F-1. Not clear if it is from structural remains, hearth, or other provenience within fill. Feature is a burned, subrectangular surf room composed of rock and adobe with a few upright posts encountered (may be more). May originally have been 2 square rooms. A slab-lined pit and at least 2 postholes with rock shims found within the structure. Fill was ca. 20 cm of burned fill containing charcoal and chunks or burned adobe. A large amt of tabular rock found in structure area. Two vertical courses of SS slabs found in one area of the wall. Roof fall present as a defined stratum over most of the floor area--burned adobe ca. 4 cm thick with charcoal. Floor unprepared, compacted earth. Single slab-lined pit found. Few artifacts from the floor; mostly in the fill. Date is interpreted as a possible habitation space or perhaps a sheltered activity and storage structure. Date is considered too old.
