Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Quarry Pit Fill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 1.14 (N-S) x 1.00 (E-W) x 0.36 (deep) 

Discussion: Fill of quarry pit. Very compact - probably because while backfilling they wanted to stabilize the area. Initially it looks as though they were quarrying midden material, but it seems they were mainly cutting into roomfill, which is fairly compact.
