Context
Structure 1, a collapsed wickiup in Locus 1, extant of the modern surface. Ten structural beams were clusterd E of and under a partially dead juniper. Sooting was present on the undersize of several branches of the tree, suggesting it was part of the structure. N part of structure was devoid of poles; thus, it may have been open. altogether, 10 poles were present, all juniper. A low mound of soil ringed the SE edge of the structure and may have been a pole abutment. Floor was slightly dis shaped, 7 cm below the prehistoric ground surface. It meas. 3.25 x 2.30 m in dia. No evidence of covering material. Floor artifacts: 2 Desert S/N points, 1 retouched flake, 33 flakes, 117 bones ( both deer and rabbit-sized, many of which were burned), charred juniper and pinyon wood, charred goosefoot seeds. All 3 C14 dates assoc. with Locus 1 are from Structure 1. Assuming old wood problems exist, the occupation of Structure 1 may be as late as the 1800s. Dendro dates : 1613vv, 1646++vv, and 1703++vv.
