Comments
EhRw 11 is a large housepit and roasting pit complex located on the north shore of Yohetta Lake in the Yohetta Valley. Originally recorded as solely a roasting pit site, examination of area beyond the quadrat within which the site had been found resulted in the mapping of several housepits and rectangular depressions which are likely habitation remains also. Excavations here intended to date roasting pits in relation to the Gunn Valley housepits, and no excavations were conducted in housepits at this site.
