Unit description: This unit is a wall, or rather a course of bricks. From it we have a quasi-complete cattle scapula (F1). This suggests that it is another foundation deposit, like 3119. However, the unit sheet does not mention the scapula at all, and it was not given an X number, so I do not know how it relates to the bricks. This wall was apparently not part of a building per se, but reinforcement to contain the midden. The rest of the unit looks like dirty construction material, and has not been recorded.Figurine Records: Yes
