- Context
- Feature 2, ca. 40 cm bmgs, ca. 1 m inside the drip line. It consisted of a cluster of at least 9 carbonized sticks/branches, oriented in roughly the same direction. The sticks were horizontal and seemed to lie on an occupational surface and were situated on the NE edge of a dark, charcoal stained area with diffuse boundaries containing FCRs. Feature 2 may represent the remnants of the superstructure of a small dish shaped house, heavily disturbed by later occupants. Alternatively, it may have been the remains of a highly disturbed hearth/roasting pit, and the sticks may have been incompletely burned fuel that was raked up onto the edge of the feature. The unit in which Feature 2 was situated yeilded 75 flakes, 4 biface frags. The sediments associated with stained area under the sticks yielded 21 flakes and a considerable amount of burned rock. The feature is placed in Component 3
