Remarks

Remarks:

Pottery deposits heavy in Loca 10 & 11; large chunks of nari here and there; pottery bits and pebbles at locations 10 and 11 look like pit fill; several large jars were found in frags (see pails where no baskets were needed); several of the bases were upright; L 2 was arbitrary, but balk shows L 1 & 2 are different; balk removal on N for L 2 & 3 done together
