A magnetic contour map and three-dimensional surface plot of the Test Unit 1 locality at the Pithouse Site, from a cesium magnetometer. The test unit revealed cobbles, adobe wall foundations, a cobble floor, and a slab-lined bin, but none of these features could be clearly related to the magnetic anomalies.
