Context
exterior hearth located near one of the excavated structures. The date was questioned by Thomas W. Stafford. It is much more recent than the dating of the nearby Folsom structure. The latter provided dates that are consistent with the known range of Folsom radiocarbon dates. The hearth is circular, basin-shaped, meas. 55 x 60 cm in dia; unlined. Fill was darker than the surrounding sediments. The hearth is partially encircled by 5 dark stains, each ca. 10 cm in dia., less than 10 cm deep. These may be the possible remains of a windbreak or rack assoc. with outside activities.
