- slab-line pit (Feature 13.18) within Feature 13 pitstructure. Shallow, situated on a steep SE-facing ridge. Oval, meas. 7.5 x 5.5 m in dia., with earthen walls that did not exceed 45 cm. Originated 25 cm bmgs. Floor and uneroded walls were plastered. Burned adobe in fill; 8 post holes found along the periphery. The structure truncated several previously constructed features. Interior had 19 features, including the postholes, 4 pits, 4 bins, hearth, a rock alignment, and 1 thermal refuse pile. A low adobe wall bounded the sides of one pit betw the structure wall and the posthole. Fill of this pit was burned roof fall. Feature 13.18 was on the S edge of the structure and meas. 103 x 94 cm in dia., 27 cm deep. Slabs were blackened, suggesting its use as a roasting pit (although the blackening could have happened when the structure burned--odd to find a roasting pit within a domicile). Filled with burned structural debris.
