Discussion

The first spit removed after the initial machine clearance in the south-west corner of area 2CA, mostly removing the lumps left by the machining as well as a pronounced higher area along the western baulk. After the removal of this spit and 002CA00086 directly beneath, two distinct buried soils were distinguished (002CA00080 and 002CA00081). These buried soils were subsquently excavated by spit, and were characterised by a high quantity of objects recovered.
