Notes:		This is the 2nd identified occupation surface beneath 295 and 271 in section 2 within the courtyard. The scarp indicates this layer to be approximately 10 cm thick and this is the approximate 2nd (though there are certainly more) of briefly used occupation events within the thicker strata (white/yellow in scarp). This particular surface was identified because it has significantly more white-plaster in its matrix than the level above. Artifact density is low. Some small rocks - angular, unworked and lying flat, or at slight downward incline to SE (center of courtyard) 296 sits atop 297 - crummy really rwhite hard-packed level in east and 298 in west.
