Feature No. 25. — On the north end of the post-mold pattern of the 

 seventh structure and 15 inches above the hardpan was a horizontal 

 post mold, clearly defined, filled with decayed wood and soft material. 

 The mold was 26 inches below the floor level of the seventh structure. 

 This horizontal mold is shown in plate 52 in the left foreground. 



Feature No. 26. — This feature was the system of post molds which 

 outlined the fifth structure on this site. These molds were 1.8 feet 

 above the hardpan. There was no floor which seemed definitely 

 related to this structure. The outline was complete, but the tops of 

 these molds showed up at a slightly lower level than those of the 

 sixth structure. Within this structure were two clay fire pits de- 

 scribed as Feature No. 28. Plate 53 shows the seventh, sixth, and 

 fifth structures and the horizontal post mold, Feature No. 25, as well 

 as the two clay fire bowls which are described below as Feature 

 No. 28. 



Feature No. 27. — This was a post-mold pattern, shown in plate 

 54, b, and the floor defining the seventh structure. The surface was 

 3.7 feet above the hardpan. The floor was clearly defined and sloped 

 toward the center from all sides. The floor had a general south- 

 eastward slope. Near the center of the area was an oval area about 

 3 feet long, much discolored by fire. The seventh structure, as 

 shown by post-mold pattern in figure 37, was 53 feet long and 32 

 feet wide. 



Feature No. 28. — Southwest of stake 7.5 there were two clay fire 

 pits 1.9 feet above the hardpan. The northeast portion of both of 

 these clay fire bowls was missing. This portion of the large bowl 

 was probably destroyed in the building of the top and smaller bowl. 

 The bowls were not quite concentric ; both were made of hard-burned 

 clay. It is thought, from their position, that these bowls were as- 

 sociated with the fifth structure, Feature No. 26. The larger bowl 

 was approximately 1.9 feet in diameter and the smaller had a length 

 of 16 inches and a breadth of 10.5 inches. The association of these 

 bowls is shown in plate 50, b. 



Feature No. 29. — The post molds outlining the sixth structure were 

 1.9 feet above the hardpan. The floor of this structure and the fifth 

 structure seem to have been the same. That there were two different 

 structures, separate and complete, on this floor at different times 

 seems certain. Features Nos. 28 and 31 were so located as to have 

 been almost in the exact center of the post-mold outlines. Figure 38 

 is a diagram of the sixth structure post-mold pattern which is well 

 shown in plate 48, b. The post molds of this structure occurred at 

 a slightly higher level than those of Feature No. 26. The fire pit, 

 Feature No. 31, in the center of this structure, however, was at a 

 lower level than the two fire bowls (Feature No. 28).
