- Context
- Feature 13, a deep irregular pit originating 65 cm bmgs, below the Spring Creek Paleosol; entirely within the lighter sand stratum beneath the Paleosol. No lining, no charcoal or FCR. Meas. 103 x 77 cm in dia., 35 cm thick. Artifacts: 29 pieces of debitage (ca. 1/2 Bridger Formation chert, plus other CCS), 8 bone frags. The relatively large amt of debitage suggests that the hearth functioned as a discard locale after its use as an expedient hearth. Because 5 of the bone frags. were burned, the feature is interpreted as a cooking pit of animal food, although the bone may have been discarded into the pit.
