- Context
- Feature 7, a D-shaped pit feature with nearly vertical, oxidized walls. Meas. 103 x 80 cm in dia., 33 cm deep; originated 10 cm bmgs. Lower fill was dark silt with abundant charcoal and chunks or oxidized sediment, along with FCR and faunal remains. After initial use, a smaller pit, 76 x 57 cm in dia., 9 cm deep was created in the fill. Upper pit contained 28 pieces of FCR, bone frags., and debitage (4 pieces , 2 of which were obsidian). Bone: 666 frags., 56% burned. Include medium-large mamals, bison, 1 fetal bison bone. Initial use is interpeted as a roasting pit, possibly used repeatedly; second use represents a smaller hearth that also appears to have had a cooking function. Date is from lower fill; thus, the feature was created during the Component 1 occupation of the site.
