Context: CH06SR_838
- Distinct layer of yellow clay-like material in the extreme SW corner of cut 900. This layer was characterized by slightly more compact, yellow soil that was isolated in this corner and distinct from neighboring contexts in both color and consistency.
Context: CH06SR_839
- Layer of ashy soil along the bedrock cut 900. This layer was isolated to a small (approx. 20cm) area. The soil was especially rich in bones, though it also contained the standard pottery and seashells of the surrounding layers.
Context: CH06SR_840
- Layer of compact brown soil with prominent inclusions of charcoal and lime throughout, similar to Context 827 but more compact. This layer was rather thick and produced a lot of debris in the form of larger pieces of pottery and special finds.
Context: CH06SR_847
- Small area of compact brown soil that appeared to be a usage surface on the far W side of cut 900. This layer was confined to the W side of pit 601 and was contiguous with context 838. It produced only small amounts of pottery, bone and tile.
