by the intrusion of Feature No. 15 and Feature No. 14. There was 

 a well-defined floor about the center of this structure, built up oi 

 clay. It was not easy to follow this floor out to the edges. A post- 

 mold pattern, Feature No. 21, showed up within and a few inches 

 lower than this one. The molds of both these structures were 18 

 inches or more deep. Associated with this structure was a fireplace 

 designated as Feature No. 20. 



Feature No. 20. — Northwest from stake 4.4 there was a burned 

 area, 54 inches by 48 inches, with a depression on a well-defined floor. 

 Within the depression a circular hole Sy 2 inches in diameter and 10 

 inches deep contained large fragments of an earthen vessel. A large 

 potsherd appeared to have been the bottom of an inverted pot. 

 Nearby, and to the northwest, was a second depression 15 inches in 

 diameter and 12 inches deep which was filled with midden material 

 but which contained no a'shes. The floor area around this fireplace 

 sloped inward from all directions. 



Feature No. 21. — This feature was an irregular outline of post 

 molds, quite deep and definite. The pattern was incomplete because 

 of intruded pits, Features Nos. 14 and 15. There was no definite 

 floor observable, in association here, but the outline probably repre- 

 sents a small structure about 9 feet by 11 feet. 



Feature No. 22. — About 15 inches above the hardpan there was a 

 pattern of post molds which seemed to form two sides of a structure. 

 This structure seemed to have been 28 feet long by 21 feet wide. The 

 holes are all well defined but some are very shallow. 



Feature No. 23. — In the square 5.6-6.5 and extending westward 

 from it there was a large midden heap. The irregular area of this 

 midden was approximately 13 by 11 feet. It was about 3 feet 

 deep, extending down to and into the hardpan level a few inches. 

 This midden contained many broken implements of bone and stone, 

 as well as the usual material. Because of this midden, several lines 

 of post molds could not be continued, as molds not only did not show, 

 but would not have retained their form. When the midden material 

 was removed the base was a conical depression in the hardpan, which 

 showed evidence of fire.

Burial No. 1. — Southwest of stake 5.3 at a depth of 40 inches there 

 was an extended burial of a child. The preservation was fair. In 

 association with the burial there were found 185 small perforated 

 shells, 3 shell beads, and 7 small shell gorgets. This burial appeared 

 at about the level of the floor on the top structure, Feature No. 12. 

 It was probably intrusive, since a post mold of one side of the struc- 

 ture was encountered beneath the burial.
