Context
Feature 11, a large area of charcoal stained sediments on the lower plane of the construction corridor, E of the original excavation block. It is within Structure A, the earliest house pit. Feature 11 was originally seen as a dark surface stain (top of feature was likely removed by blading, along with much of the floor of Structure A. Feature 11 was basin-shaped, earthen lined, with very dark loam. 19 pieces of FCR found in feature fill, along with 1 grinding slab, 2 flakes, and 38 pieces of bone, including jackrabbit. Interpreted as a large hearth or roasting pit. Presence of burned bone suggests that it was used to roast jackrabbits.
