- Context
- Structure 1, Locus 6; the structure is a collapsed wickiup , extant on the modern ground surface. The sample is from the fill/floor contact. The structure had 18 juniper and pinyon poles arranged in a roughly radial pattern and situated on the E side of a partially dead juniper tree. Structure 1 was apparently freestanding, unlike the structure in Locus 1. Structure 1 had a substantial forked stick, with 2 of the larger support posts still interlocked with the main support fork. These served as the main support tripol against which the other posts were laid as stringers. Entryway was on the NE. The structure may have stood 1.52 m. Floor was dish shaped, ovoid in plan, meas. 3.1 x 2.5 m (6.1 sq m), and was 15 cm below the prehistoric ground surface. The entryway meas. 60 cm long, 70 cm wide, sloping up from the floor. Structure fill appeared to have built up over a long period of time; it was only slightly different in color from the surrounding soil. Artifacts: 148 flakes, 4 proj pts (3 of which were Desert S/N), 5 FSTs, 1 bone tool, 6 manuports, 139 faunal remains, largely deer or deer sized. A hearth (Feature 2) was in the NE part of the floor with a high number of uncharred Chenopodium seeds.
