Discussion: We were digging the NW and SE corners and we found bones, charcoal, obsidian, clay balls, shells and bricks. We also uncovered a feature. It could potentially be a collapsed wall or bin of some kind. It is located in the NW foom fill. We recognized the change in layers by color and texture but primarily by texture. It became much less compact and easier to dig with a trowel and mattock.
