Unit 32115
Category: Layer dug in 2016
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: fire spot
Data Category Information: Location: external; Deposition: coarsely bedded (dumps)
Discussion: This unit consists of a fire spot located in grid #8, 9, and 11; although material from grids #8 and 9 are recorded as part of unit32112. The reason for having multile unit numbers represent this context is because initially it was thought that there were two fire spots instead of one. It was only after more excavation that we realized the same fire spot extended further down. The initial samples for grid 11 are recorded with this (32115) sheet. The fire spot contained articulated, burned animal bones, as well as some clay beads and balls.
