Unit 8112
Category: layer dug in 2001
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: fill
Data Category Information: none
Discussion: posthole fill, blackish in color, as if some wood was there along with plastery rubble. Came down to reddish, usual packing like lumps that probably fell in.
Traces of firing underneath the rubble. Phytoliths found to the east, still haven't hit the bottom. Underneath that not-really-a-layer-of-phytoliths there's a packing like lupmp of reddish color maybe indicating the bottom. Tow nice pieces of calcinated wood survived. Another white plaster floor seen in the section of the cut, further down under thick reddish-to-brown packing layer. On western side of the cut (west central) we hit an animal hole, something that goes deeply down. Brown-reddish mottled black deposit scraped off. Lowermost deposit- reddish brown mottled blac seems to be sitting on midden, hence no solid base, but mixed with rubbish.
