Context
Feature 1, the basin house, charcoal collected from the floor. One of 2 dates from the structure, which are statistically contemporaneous. Feature was bisected by a trench. Ovoid in shape, meas. at least 310 x 275 cm in dia. Possibly up to 383 x 300 cm in dia. Originated at ca. 150-160 cm bmgs. Excavated into a slope. Three interior features, as well as at least 12 assoc. post holes. Two relatively deep thermal features were present toward the rear of the house, once with numerous FCRs; the other was mostly destroyed by trenching. Also a small charcoal stained basin toward the center. The radiocarbon date from one of the pits is statistically contemporaneous with the 2 dates from the house itself. One of the subfloor pits appears to be earlier than the house (Fea 44). Two fills in the structure. The lower, Fill 1, had a high charcoal content amd a small quantity of FCRs. The upper fill, Fill 2, represents slope wash and wind-blown deposits. Fill: 1fackrabbit bone, 1 artiodactyl, 2 mule deer (the remainder were unidentified), 113 pieces of debitge, 9 tools, 2 proj pts, 1 pecking stone, 1 mano, and 2 pieces of indeter. GS.
