- During mattocking of context 28008 a very notable density of shell was foun. When the trench section was cleaned this revealed a dense deposit of shell clearly in section which went deep into the section wall (material of which was taken as a sample), This is certainly a midden and highlights that the diffuse nature of the material culture found at similar levels is unlikely to be the result of taphanomic processes suggesting that the remaining fills of feature 28001 were not primarily refuse deposits
