Interpretations

2016-07-05 Nicholas Dell Isola

This layer most likely accumulated naturally, because there was a smattering of inclusions and the layer varied in compaction. The layer covered a linear rock feature that runs north to south that bisects the southernmost section, which suggests that the area was out of use when the layer was formed.
