Discussion

A spit of buried soil (002CA00081) situated just to the west of the stream channel, in the south-west corner of Area 2CA. Located directly above two further spits (002CA00812 and 002CA00811), the soil was a sandy clay loam (Munsell 10YR 4/4). Although all three of these spits have the general characteristic of the buried soil (that is they contain a much higher percentage of objects compared to animal bones), the level of finds is lower in this area than that found to the east and west.
