Feature No. lJ^. — This was a hard-packed floor at a depth of 3 feet 

 2 inches. It was outlined by post molds on three sides. This floor 

 was 45 feet wide and 53 feet long. On the east the floor had been 

 destroyed by erosion. On the floor were three fire pits and six ash 

 pits. These are to be seen in plate 101. The floor, which was made 

 of hard-packed clay, was built on sand raised 4 feet above the hard-

 site. A plat structure pattern is shown in figure 65. 



Feature No. 15. — This feature was a ramp of clay, shown in plate 

 102. It was 35 feet long, and was definitely constructed to give ac-
