Probably a modern house platform.”  In 1989, Walker and Haun’s studies say “a dark brown soil cultural deposit consisted of marine shell midden, bone (fish, mammal and bird), charcoal flakes an adze fragment and several fragments of volcanic glass. A carbon date extending into the modern period was recovered from this feature which was interpreted as a probable modern house platform built on a prehistoric habitation terrace.
