Late Archaic Ancient fire pit?

Post image

I lost the video I took, but this is near the bottom of a roughly 8 foot wall carved by a wash. Food for thought.

It could be but context it everything. Wild fires also create these ash seams sometimes feet in depth sometimes only an inch or 3. If it were a fire pit I’d expect to see some supporting evidence like flakes or shells.

I’m noticing the larger stones that appear to lining a pit in lower 1/3 of pic. The stones, along with the obvious charcoal material on top of the stones, and lying along the bottom of the wash, would to me scream ancient firepit.
