Houses 5 and 6 were both considerably smaller than the average 

 for the village or the region (fig. 30). House pit 6 was 13 feet long 

 and 121^ feet wide, and house pit 5 was 16 feet by 121/2 feet. The 

 pits were tangent, and in neither pit was there evidence of backdirt 

 from the construction of the other, Tliis led to the belief that the 

 two were occupied contemporaneously. The few artifacts found in 

 the two houses showed no significant differences, but there is still no 

 proof that they represented a single dwelling. No timbers or other 

 evidence of superstructure were found, nor were postholes detected.
