Interpretation
-
- Probable sitting fill of a small pit that also included very frequent shell inclusions. This may have been a dumping event of seafood waste or alternatively it may represent a temporary storage area for shells in advance of firing in the limekiln just to the North - as shells are a natural source of lime
