Dimensions: 1.19m N/S x 1.29m E/W x .18m deep
Discussion: Several layers of floors and make-up, sealing a grave cut. Several small human bones were found around the perimeter of the cut, possibly deposited after the grave was reopened for multiple individuals. Layers consist of med brown make-up, very ephemeral white plaster, gray make-up, red make-up, then white plaster. Red make-up was preserved in northern half of unit as the relationship to the burial cut was unclear at that point. Heavily intruded by animal burrows in NW corner and throughout.
