Description This area was excavated principally by the bulldozer. As a result, it was extremely difficult to take opening and closing elevations. The locus was composed of beaten earth, and the inclusions in this locus include a medium amount of pottery, and a medium amount of large stones. The condition of Locus 22 was uneven, and its preserved height varies. It may be that this locus should be included with the Locus 9 data.
Location Located in the southern portion of the trench.
Bottom (m) Closing elevation: None taken.
