Short Description:
Shelly fill of ditch 2311
Issued to
Ben Swain | 01/10/2022

Interpretation

    • This fill contained substantial amounts of shell that suggests possible dumping of waste seafood by-products. It was the earliest fill fully excavated from ditch [2311] as of the 2022 season, revealing another shelly clayey fill below that remains unexcavated.
