BR-F3

This feature is a circular bedrock basin approximately 1.28 m in diameter and 0.5 m in depth (Figure 5). The basin surface appeared to have been intentionally smoothed. The feature fill was dark and midden-like, containing ceramic sherds, chert flakes, and numerous freshwater shells. It is similar to BR-F5a and BR-F5b and may have originally functioned as a small chultun or storage pit. Alternatively, it may have been created to catch and hold water. Its final use was as a refuse pit.
