Two additional deposits were located within SU 2002, A and B. Both are visible from the surface. Excavation of SU 2002 revealed that A was a deposit that slopes from the northwest to the southeast and consists of yellowy-brown soil, with some pottery and bone inclusions. B is a roughly circular pile of stones with very little gravel and nearly no pottery or bone. During post-excavation study, this feature was reinterpreted as an obliteration layer marking the abandonment of the area.
