Context
Feature 6, the smallest of the 3 house basins found at the site. It also had the least number of FCR and charcoal, but the highest incidence of root/rodent disturbance. It meas. 250 x 268 cm, 18 cm deep; it was initially exposed 15 cm bmgs. It had gently sloping side walls. Two subfloor basins were located along the E edge of the feature. A prominent area of oxidized soil was situated in the central part of the basin; FCR and charcoal were absent within and around this oxidized area. Fill was dark, charcoal stained sediments with 171 FCR weighing 32.0 kg. Also in the fill: small pieces of pine charcoal, charred juniper seeds, pine bark scale and vitrified vegetal tissue. Like the other 2 houses, feature is thought to have been burned after final occupation.
