Geography comments: "at an inland valley in eastern Poway... on a south-facing slope within Beeler Canyon" (coordinate based on Poway)
"The lower layers of the pit feature had a mean radiocarbon date of 5,300 B.P., while the hearth feature had a mean date of 2,800 B.P."
Feature E dates on bulk soil were 2,210 +/- 60 B.P. at "30-40 cm." and 3,460 +/- 80 B.P. at "60-70 cm." (presumed to be uncalibrated because errors are symmetrically distributed)
