THE HOUSES We completely excavated 21 houses at the Dodd site, and tested 8 more. The houses themselves fell into two general groups, circular and rectangular. Feature 1 (fig. 2). Shape: Circular. Dimensions: Diameter, feet; depth, feet. Pit walls: Unfaced refuse and native soil. Floor: Tramped bottom of the pit. Roof supports: Four primary central posts with a scattering of secondary posts, especially through the southwest quadrant of the house. Eleven more or less evenly spaced wall posts near the edge of the floor. Entrance: Probably almost due east, not defined during excavation. Firepit: Centrally located basin filled with whitish ash. Floor pits: One undercut cache pit in the southeast quadrant and one straight- sided cache pit in the southwest quadrant. Associations: Superimposed over rectangular houses (Features 5 and 29). Comments: This house had been burned. There were four small waterworn boulders at the base of the east wall of the house. The house floor was the refuse-charged fill of the pits of Features 5 and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
