Discussion

One of two spits (with 002CA00812) directly beneath spit 002CA00088, this spit was situated next to the western edge of the stream channel. This was the final removal of the buried soil 002CA00081 in this area, and contained only 15 objects and no identifiable animal bones. The soil was a medium textured sandy clay loam (Munsell 10YR 5/4) with 20% small, rounded chalk inclusions.
