- Feature 8, a hearth in Structure 1, Block 2, Component 4. The feature was 81 x 76 cm, 14 cm thick, and originated just above the Strata A-B interface. The hearth was apparently constructed by excavating a basin and lining 3/4 of its circumference with 10 stones. The SW edge was unlined or perhaps the stones were later removed. The base was oxicidized in several places Three strata could be seen in the fill. The basal stratum yielded more artifacts and burned bone than the upper fill. The fill yielded 92 pieces of debitage, 2 retouched flakes, 1 Desert S/N point (just N of the hearth), juniper and pinyon charcoal 1 charred juniper seek, 40 unidentified deer-sized mammal bone frags. (34 burned). A substantial amount of debitage was found on the wickiup floor surrounding the hearth. Feature 8 is interpreted as the interior hearth of the structure, and it possibly may have been used over a period of months
