| Description | This ashy mortar was found within Locus 6 and differed from Loci 1 through 5. It was, therefore, sub-divided from Locus 6. This locus measured 0.75 m-x-0.33 m (length-by-width) and was 0.04 m thick. There was no evidence to suggest the purpose of this mortar, but it does appear that it was intentionally placed here and not relocated into its resting place. |
