Unit 15950
Category: Layer dug in 2007
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: fill layer
Data Category Information: Deposition: homogeneous
Description: Trench 10
Discussion: The fill layer (15950) was dark and ashy and not very distinct from a midden lens, thus some parts (mostly the eastern part of the trench) were over cut, while others (such as the western part of the trench) were under cut. The fill had a surprising number of finds (especially large unburnt animal bones). The basal boundary of the trench wa not reached to to reaching the foundation level of Trench 10.
