Context
Feature 3D, a relatively large interior basin located between the E edge and the center of Feature 3. It meas. 60 x 74 cm, 16 cm deep, with relatively steep sides. Fill was darkly stained sediments with charcoal and 73 pieces of FCR weighing 17.0 kg. Also in the fill: 7 charred goosefoot embroyos, 15 goosefoot seeds, 500+ burned and unburned bone frags., 52 flakes. The authors suggest that the feature was a faunal processing pit, but it could also be a garbage pit since there is no mention of oxidized walls.
