- Context
- Subfeature 2.04 Floor Surface 1, Hearth fill. This is the upper floor. Feature 2 was a subrectangular pit structure, 6.25 x 6.0 m, 2.11 m deep. Southern 2/3 was excavated. A complete dog burial was found on the structure floor. Structure filled with alluvial sediments. Not much evidence of burning. Three bins found on floor, which were used during both occupations. Initial construction, Floor 2, was formally prepared. Upper surface, Floor Surface 1, was not formally prepared. Interpreted as 2 separate occupations. Upper floor had an oxidized hearth in assoc. but no other features except the 3 bins built during the earlier construction. Lower floor had a high density of faunal remains, including turkey, rabbit, larger mammals, coyote/dog. Three animal burials and a human cranin on the upper floor are interpreted as part of a ritual abandonment of the structure.
