- Feature 7, pit room, Component 2, Block 2, a large subrectangular pit, nearly vertical sides, a flat floor. Originated ca. 18-20 cm bmgs. Feature 7 is very similar to Feature 8. Feature 7 meas. 1.64 x 1.70 m, 44 cm deep. Fill was a uniform brown sandy clay with some charcoal chunks; no artifacts on floor. Large slabs in the fill along 2 sides of trhe pit are probably the remains of walls that extended above ground. A small interior pit feature (Feature 18) is in the floor on the W side of Feature 7, and may have served as a hearth. Twelve animal bones recovered from the fill include cottontail, jackrabbit, small/medium sized bird, and 1 large artiodactyl, possibly bison. Chapin Gray and Chapin B/W sherds were also in the fill. C14 sample was from scattered charcoal in the lower fill.
