Feature
140 is a large and complex basin feature in the southwestern quadrant of
the Miami Circle. One main, roughly rectangular basin is connected to two smaller
basins to the northwest and southeast. The walls are nearly vertical, especially
along the basin’s long axis. Tool marks are evident on the walls and duricrust
deposits are present on the walls and on the bottom of the basin. Eleven
smaller holes are present in the bottom of the basin group. Large limestone
cobbles were mapped in the central and southeastern basins. The midden contained
animal bone, marine shell, 3 shell tools, ceramic sherds, including one linear
stamped sherd, and fragments of concreted midden and limestone.
