Context
Feature 5, a shallow, flat-bottomed, rock-filled hearth, visible on the surface as FCR. But no surface artifacts. Fill was sagebrush charcoal, carton-stained sediments and rock, most fire-cracked and or heavily carbon stained. Rocks ranged from 4-16 cm in size. Base of feature was charcoal. No rock lining was apparent. Hearth was ca. 10 cm deep, meas. ca. 1.5 m in dia., irregularly shaped. Grass seed identified in fill. Only 3 micro-chips were found in the fine; no artifacts were recovered from the 6 m dia. area around the feature. However, a cluster of FSTs and debitage were found N of the feature. These are interpreted as game processing activities even though no bgone was recovered
