about seven feet wide by twelve feet long and was originally perhaps 

 six feet high. Our work disclosed the fact that it had been filled in to 

 a depth of about two feet with debris. About six inches from the 

 bottom of the cave, and at its center, the remains of a fireplace were 

 unearthed, but no further pottery or other objects of interest were 

 found.

The roof of the cave was blackened to a considerable extent from 

 the smoke of the fire, which showed that the cave had been inhabited 

 for some considerable time. This cave was typical of most of those at 

 this site, practically all showed blackening of the roof and in several 

 others, a little excavating at the center of the floor, showed charcoal.
