Stratum:   Mixed fill west of pit 2006-4, dark, grayish brown, poorly cemented, 10% inclusions, poorly sorted, pebbles and cobbles
Notes:   A continued pass of the mixed fill just west of pit 2006-4. This pass uncovered a small amount of pottery and tile, as well as some carbon and shell remains. In addition, we uncovered a fragment of a possible bronze coin and part of a terracotta figurine. The pass was undertaken to locate the level of geomorphological soil beneath, which we came upon at the end of the basket. We also hoped to learn more about the possible cutting into this geomorphological layer that we had begun to uncover in basket 63. Further exploration will be necessary before we can understand the nature of this cutting.
