- Charcoal from Feature 27, a slab-lined hearth exposed in excavation unit X14. Basin dhaped, 18 cm deep below the eroded ground surface. Fill was charcoal -stained sediments, which was also observed outside the perimeter of the slabs. Interpreted by Jones as indication that the slabs might have been placed into the fill of an existing unlined hearth. Thin lens of burned earth present along one edge outside the slab lining. Also in fill: burned rock and a moderate amt of quartzite debitage, plus a biface frag. A 2nd slab lined hearth was ca. 1 m away, but did not have sufficient charcoal for dating. NOTE: Date given in Jones 1986a is 5593 +/- 120. I need to follow up on discrepancy.
