Context
From Tree Burn #2--natural burn. Date actually appears to be from a part of Feature 1, but was a natural burn instead of the hearth itself. Still given a credibility level of None because the actual date on Feature 1 is B-54052, from Feature 1b. Somewhat confusing, but B-54053 definitely seems to be a natural burn near the cultural feature, Feature 1b. The 1994 report states that Figure 1 was a surface-exposed ring of rocks, ca. 80 cm in dia., tapering to a 35 cm dia. base at 30 cm deep. Partially rock filled with concentrated carbon near the bottom. Said to be similar to Features 10 and 7, discussed in the 1994 report.
