2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2003-08-13 jl This was a very red block of soil surrounded by a ring of gray soil (f140). At first, we believed that it was perhaps fill within a pit or the bricky covering over a burial. However, as we excavated, we discovered that it was very loose (i.e. not bricky) and full of modern trash and pieces of burlap. Now, we believe that it was the fill of a modern burlap sack used in our own excavation. One can even see the burlap impression in section (see v87a). [Input: N829JL.j]
