Introduction

In OH2 layering and gradual build-up define the latest deposits in the area.

Accumulations

The most prevelant type of accumulation in OH2 is accumulation Type C. These accumulations are part of the process of build-up in the area including the most significant layer in OH2, f4, the feature that contained the discarded sealings.

The other main type of accumulation was categorized simply as “soil”, in 1998, a category we no longer use. Based on the description of the features (f2, f3), they are most likely an accumulation type D or a lense type D, indicating that they are natural accumulations and part of the natural post-abandonment build-up.

Laminations

Two features (f8, f10) were specifically identified as laminations, a specific type of accumulation caused by water.
