Harrington beginning excavation; b, recovering a charcoal sample (Peck, Rozaire and Simpson). eroded surface of the northeastern wall of the basin, between Ash Beds 1 and 2, was noted by H arrington (Fig. 38) in 1955. Rozaire was placed in charge of the excavation. A trench paralleling the ridge was dug to determine general dimensions of the feature; another trench was cut into the ridge at the western edge of the feature. Large pieces of bone were found in the m ain charcoal area and side trench. The first trench resulted in a profile of the feature cut parallel to the ridge. This exposed very marked soil changes (Fig. 39) and two pits containing high concentrations of charcoal. The characteristic yellowish-orange coloring of the soil around the charcoal area was very marked. It is believed that this coloring was caused by heat. 81
