Our Burned Rock Midden

This is a burned rock midden we are excavating on the Fort Hood base. It was initially identified by ground penetrating radar. We excavated a small shovel test which encountered some rocks so we opened a 1x1 meter square unit and this is the top of the burned rock midden in that unit.We then excavated the east (right side in this photo) of the midden to see a cross section. This is during the process of removing the rocks from that half.


We then exposed more of the midden which you can see below. The previously excavated section is the whole towards the top of the feature in the photo below.
