Post-abandonment layer south of the area I structures. Layer seems to be the top fill of cut 8222, perhaps accumulating as a combination of intentional dumping (based on large basalt paver inclusions), collapse, and natural deposition. Layer stretches further than it was excavated this year. To be continued in 2018...
