- Bulk soil sample from the lower portion of the fill deposits in Surface Structure 1. An oval, basin-shaped structure meas. 2.7 x 2.5 m with a floor area of 5.5 sq m. Greatest depth of floor is 42 cm bmgs, rising toward the edges to 25-30 cm bmgs. Two irregular stains on the floor were found to be a fireplace (F-7) and an unburned pit (F-8). F-8 was a shallow, basin-shaped pit near the S wall of the structure.. fill consisted of an upper layer of very loose organic topsoil laying on top of the lower level--a dark brown, moderately fine-grained silt loam.
