Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: raised area (platform); Material: brick&mortar; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: Bricks and mortar used in the construction of platforms F1525 & F1526. All had shell inclusions, eastern most brick had obsidian debitage. Seemed to have 'leveling materials' around E & S parts that may have been connected to the bricks.
