SFR-113 is located at the northwest perimeter of the block bounded by
Market, Mission, Fourth, and Fifth streets at the northern edge
of San Francisco's South of Market area. In 1986 Archeo-Tec
discovered a Native American encampment dating to around 2000
years old. The assemblage of artifacts recovered indicates at
least two occupation episodes occurred at the site, one at around
100 B.C. and another at approximately A.D. 120. Radiocarbon
dating and the presence of two different styles of stone hearths
support this hypothesis. |

Though the two habitations were independent from each other, the
similarity in the range of faunal remains and the frequency
and type of artifactual material suggests that little change
occurred over time in the basic adaptive strategies practiced
by the prehistoric inhabitants of CA-SFR-113.
