The west 4 feet of this square was opened and the house presented a
problem. The fired floor as well as the color representing the soil
under the fired floor was not evident, but being careful, following the
vertical profile we were able to determine the approximate west line of
the house. For safety’s sake we listed the east wall as indeterminate.
There was no evidence to be seen of any postmolds. The south end of the
house pattern was in this same condition. Further work on the adjoining
squares produced another house. The house in 41R21 and 41R22 was partly
under the house in 40R21, 40R22, 39R22, 39R21 and 39R22.
The preceding has been a selected sample of essentially unedited field
notes not including much detail and barely mentioning the carefully
drawn maps, and horizontal and vertical profiles that accompanied the
written description. Profiles showing soil color changes were done in
color, using colored pencils in an attempt to duplicate the colors
observed. Photographs, both black and white and color were taken
whenever anything showed up of possible use for record or
interpretation. (The Editors).
