Unit 31832
Category: Layer dug in 2015
Area: TPC
Interpretive Categories: midden deposit
Data Category Information: Location: external; Deposition: finely bedded
Discussion: This unit is a midden deposit situated next to N edge of trench 4. Unit 31832 was recognized as midden based on its soil consistency, color and plenty of garbage dump finds as animal bones and pottery fragments. This layer described as compound layer because of presence many ashy lenses and burned material within. It’s worth to note that this midden seems to have a depression form. Therefore, the dump material might be primarily packed in a kind of large pocket sinking down in the middle.
This midden deposit was only partally excavated under unit number 21832. The remainder of this layer excavated under U.31854.
