Phase Description	Phase Pre-Site Phase I:
Architectural or Soil Locus?	Soil
Location	Central sondage, between Loci 3 and 6.
Size	1.10 m north south-by-2.22 m east west.
Stage	Stage 5
Underlies	Locus 22.
Preserved Height	variable, see balk sketches.
Definition	Natural deposition stratum
Overlies	Locus 24.
Description	A stratum of mixed soils and stones. The soil consistencies ranged between silt, sand, and granules, while the stones included sizes between pebbles and cobbles. The Munsell Colors of the layer were between 7.5 YR 5/3 – 5/4 (Brown), with swirls of 5 YR 5/4 (Reddish Brown). The nature and distribution of this stratum suggests that it resulted from a natural deposition process. It is possibly the result of a wash event, as there is a slight sloping from the south toward the north. However, the only artifact recovered was a coin.
