Unit 13103

Category: Layer    dug in 2006

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: midden layer 

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

Dimensions: 5.05m E-W; N-S=4.80m; depth=0.35m 

Discussion: midden layer slumping to the NE of space 279. Possible layers of lime burning at base where light silt layer above charcoal burning layer. This also occurred at the base of (12980) to the east side over the area of more substantial slumping. 

Recognition: after excavtion of (12980) decided to give midden a new number, (13103) although probably part if the same midden deposit as 12988-see sketch
