A rare glimpse of an American tragedy that took place 11,500 years ago - http://io9.com/#!57696...
“The pit was dug within the house and functioned as a cooking hearth, cooking debris disposal area, and/or cache pit. The child died and was placed within the pit, with little evidence of disturbance after cremation. The pit was backfilled soon after burning, and the relative lack of artifacts atop the pit fill suggests immediate abandonment of the house.” - Anthony Citrano
