Unit 20148

Category: Cut    dug in 2012

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: Pit cut 

Data Category Information: Description: pit

Dimensions: 1.58 m x 1.45 m x .125 m 

Discussion: The cut of this pit was easy to identify as we removed layer 20134, but as excavation proceeded, there was no identifiable change in soil. Eventually, we could identify some large charcoal patches and dark soil laminations extending beyond the limits of cut 20148, making its basal boundary fairly uncertain. It is likely, especially given the low artifact density, that after this pit was cut, it was filled very gradually, explaining the soil homogeneity and low artifact density. 

Recognition: clear round extent of greyish brown soil found during removal of 20134 was pit infill 

Definition: clear at top, unclear as excavation proceeded 

Condition: warm, shaded 

Shape: round 

Sides: probably vertical, maybe sloping inward 

Base Break: unclear-- end of pit identified by evidence of soil layers extending beyond limits of cut 

Base: extremely unclear 

Orientation: N/A

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
