Used the poles to climb out – that’s how they retained the heat in them. (built fires in them). Were shallow when Sam saw the silt had probably filled them in, were 3-6ft deep. Hiriam Smith and Sam had cut samples of local trees for museum display. Hiriam Smith might have taken pictures of the pits.
