Place: Ar/Ge.T38.13

Locus 13 was situated in the NE corner of T38, directly east of locus (wall) 9. It was characterized by a cluster of large stones that ranged in size from 10 to 55cm It contained an incredibly high volume of cultural material culture, namely pottery. The sediment in this area was a fairly compact, fine-grained dark brown matrix. Upon expanding the unit it became clear that this feature was predominately tumble from the terrace wall (locus 15) that was discovered immediately east of this context. The stones, although large, were all floating and not configured in any sort of organized manner. The high density and partial/ fragmented nature of the cultural materials further supported the conclusion that this was not an in situ context. As we expanded the operation and further defined the neighboring architecture (namely loci 15, 10, and 9) this locus was excavated out. Additional metrics: width 2.3m, 2.0 on northern and southern ends. Elevations were taken from Datum1 and Datum 13.
