This deposit is associated with the small linear features found throughout Areas G and H, which we are currently considering small plots for agriculture or viticulture. The soil had few ceramic inclusions and many were water worn, supporting the idea of agricultural use for the soil. The deposit was placed upon the curb and even parts of the road, on which the small walls sit or are built.
