Remarks:

Two pieces of worked bone found with the tiny EB juglet (Pail 89); all surfaces were considered one locus, though some were excavated in different pottery pails; there seemed to be patches of resurfacing & levelling--the surfaces were not all directly one on top of the other; EB juglet & partially restorable EB hole-mouth found on different surfaces; one surface with a continuous layer of plaster, another with remnants; most of the cobbles & small boulders were concentrated in the extreme SW corner as a pile of tumble sitting on one of the surfaces; this may have been a wall but was not recognized as such; the boulders remaining in the balk look very well organized & wall-like
