Category: Layer    dug in 2008

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Ash deposit from in situ burning 

Data Category Information: Description: fire spots (non-structured); Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: E-W:1.40m; N-S: 1.40m; depth: .01m to .02m 

Discussion: Ash from in situ burning in external space. The area of scorching was larger than the ashy fill. 

Recognition: ashy deposit 

Definition: extent of ash above scorched area 

Execution: trowel/smal tools 

Condition: hot 

Consistency: loose
