Interpretive Categories: Use of Hearth 

 

Data Category Information: Description: fire spots (non-structured); Deposition: homogeneous

 

Discussion: Semi-circular patch of material - thin souuthern semi-circular edge appears real - Northern edge may have been truncated but cant be sure of this (I truncated NE corner somewhat when excavating 8076)
As for use - maybe use of hearth? - but not really ashy or charcoaolly - think semi-circular edge i what suggested this to me - layers underneath that seem to have same N. Edge line as 8077 and same slight suggestion of scorching? On E. Side
