Stratum:   Soil contains bone, shell, fine, medium, and coarse pebbles, and a small number of cobbles.
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is moderately sorted. It is silty clay.
Notes:   This is the fill of a highly disturved burial of a juvenile. There were a number of bones found in the dump fill above the cut mark, which belonged to a juvenile individual. However, adult material has also been found in the fill. It does not appear that any bones are in situ. The grave is quite shallow suggesting it was essentially destroyed to make way for the dump fill level in which many likely associated bones were found. May also be a dump site for bones.
