Category: Layer    dug in 2006

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: midden 

Data Category Information: Location: external; Deposition: finely bedded

Dimensions: 1.6 x 1.4 x 0.3 

Discussion: Layer is a midden layer, made up of multiple lenses of ash, charcoal, and natural silting. The layer is arbitrarily defined. But above the material is less ashy and below, it has a lime/chalky characteristic and very high charcoal element. Origin of layer could be associated with domestic activity.
