points (31.5:1), the relatively high percentage of ceramics with shell temper
(40.6 percent), and most of the typeable arrow points (2 Bassett, 1 Catahoula, 8
Cliffton, 8 Fresno, I Homan, 31 Perdiz, I Rockwall, 1 Steiner, 4 Talco, and 33
Turney).
Three dates stand out as being earlier, however. The earliest one (A.D. 1043-
1253) is from Feature 8. Given the likelihood that this feature represents a burned
stump (see Features), this assay probably is not relevant to understanding the
chronology of the site. The other two dates certainly are relevant, though, as
they are from Feature 1, the hearth that lies at the center of the concentration of
cultural materials sampled by the block excavation. These two assays may be
interpreted in two primary ways: (1) Feature I dates to the latter part of the A.D.
1200s, based on the near-overlap in the 1-sigma ranges (A.D. 1221-1272 and
1277-1404); and (2) Feature 1 was used multiple times during the A.D. 1200s,
1300s, and 1400s. As presented below (see Distributions and Conclusions), how-
ever, there is evidence to suggest that neither of these interpretations is correct
and that Feature I belongs with the A.D. 1400s occupation of the site. In brief,
this evidence involves consistent distributional patterns indicating that 41HP175
represents a single component occupation with activities focused around the
