Category:		Deposit
Notebook:		1108
Context:		142
Date:		2014/04/23
Stratum:		20% small to medium angular cobbles; bone and ceramic frags
Description:		Top slope of the context is slight down to the SE. The soil color is dark brownish black. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is very poorly sorted. It is clayey silt.
Notes:		While removing Deposit 117, we uncovered what appeared to be the cut of a pit southwest of structure 94. The further removal of 117 made the cut (Cut 143) more clear. The soil within the fill was not much different than 117 and perhaps is the same activity of leveling the courtyard. There was minimal material culture and the end was quickly found.
