Title:   2nd lens of fill of pit in center of room 2 unit 2
Category:   Deposit
Notebook:   1108
Context:   564
Date:   2014/06/18
Lot:   Lot 2014-046
Stratum:   50% large cobbles, small sub-angular pebbles, bone (including small bones and fishbones), shell (e.g. oyster), glass, eggshell, charcoal, coins, ash, ceramics, fish scales
Description:   Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is clay.
Notes:   This is the second lens of fill for the large pit cut into the center of unit 2 room 2. The second lens of fill extends to the bottom of the pit's cut. Because this lens of fill contains such a greater quantity and variety of inclusions and small finds than the first lens above it, this second lens appears to be the rubbish pit whereas the first lens above it sealed this deposit and perhaps provided a more solid surface upon which to place walking surfaces. This fill's homogeneity suggests that it was a one-time trash dump rather than a long-term refuse pit.
