Remarks

This is a linear stone feature running parallel along the SE face of the partition wall in WSAC2, roughly 5 meters long and half a meter wide as of 7/7/11 when it first appeared and was excavated and measured. The feature consists of a relatively linear alignment of small to medium size limestone and scoria-type stones, similar to feature 26 in WSAC 2010, with three stones in the middle connecting the line to the wall. The feature ends before the southern corner of the room, where there is a gap, another three stones and a dark irregular black feature that might represent a burning event. Feature 15 might relate chronologically to Locus 14, a vessel near the SW wall crushed by a jumble of small stones.
This feature is roughly higher than the floor and linear features found in WSAC last year, but might still be associated with the same occupation. A piece of charcoal was found next to the last stone of the feature in the southern end.
