Several of the features contained great amounts of fire cracked stones, soot and charcoal. The features have been examined on the surface but not excavated. A few finds of burnt bones and worked quartz were also made. The area containing archaeological remains has been delimited. No archaeological remnants were found in the rest of the area.

Use note: In addition to this broader topic, use another topic for historical data. Example: for data on the working environments of family doctors in the 1960s, use HISTORY and 'Working conditions' plus 'Health care services and policies'. Use the HISTORY topic on its own only if a more specific topic cannot be found in this vocabulary.
