Remarks Has very large sherds of bow rim jars (3 at least) and huge tall bowl and smaller burnished pot Post-season note: locus D.8.70 and locus D.8.110 both have sherds from a bow rim jar painted with large looping line and horizontal lines around the neck. Should check in off season to see whether these are the same vessel (colors are different according to Munsell readers) because if they are from the same vessel, then this links wall D.8.70 with contents of a cell beneath it (D.110.1) (LSD 11-05)
Has note Finds Bags, or KT bags, are groups of artifacts of the same material composition excavated from a locus. Each finds bag may contain a number of finds but finds are always separated by material. Thus, ceramics, bones and lithics excavated from the same locus were given separate numbers and were collected in separate bags. A special category is the "small find," which could be of any material. Small finds are generally speaking rare or exceptional finds such as figurines, loom weights, andirons or worked bone tools. Small finds are given separate numbers and are bagged separately. Finds bags could consist of only one plastic bag of material and could only be excavated on a single day.
