Natural colluvial accumulation post-abandonment.

2016-06-27 Jonathan Organ

This deposit is probably the result of dumping activity (based on the large number of finds) and natural accumulation of soil after the abandonment of the structure in Area I. It is quite similar to the topsoil which covered it, and plow marks in the surrounding floor suggest a heavily disturbed deposit.
