This intact bowl of Archaic creamware (ceramica depurata) was nestled within the natural grooves of the bedrock and surrounded by bits of burnt, ashy soil. After further study, it is apparent that its position here in close association with the surviving wall of the structure (SU 420, SU 541) may suggest its purposeful placement as part of a “first fruits” or foundation ritual

Unknown Date Unknown Author

Bowl SU536 and surrounding deposit SU537 appear to be related. Due to their position within the structure with walls SU420 and SU541, directly next to wall SU541 (within the structure), they may represent some form of votive deposit.
