dy Began to excavate the locus.  Topsoil contained 8 body and no rim or base sherds.  All were inspected, found to be of indeterminent period, and discarded.  In the NE corner, just under the topsoil was a hard surface of soil with a burn mark in the center, f136.  As we excavated a bit further, there was a lens of laminations, f138, in the NE quadrant, in which sat a ring of stones in a soil matrix, f142, similar to f101 in the adjacent locus to the east, k13.  A positive link can only be established upon excavation of the E baulk.  Under the topsoil in the west and south and the laminations in the east was a relatively thin layer of natural accumulation, f140, underwhich there was another layer of natural accumulation, f141.
