3-Up Site (LA 150373) - Unit 101 Summary

Unit 101 is located in Area A of the 3-Up Site, at the western edge of a large mound cut deeply by a bulldozer. This unit was selected for excavation to provide a profile of mound stratigraphy without extensive excavation of unlooted areas, and to enhance information recovered from a test-profile in the same room during fall of 2005 conducted by Roger Anyon. Anyon’s profile was excavated along the exposed north wall of the room, but was unable to confidently locate floor features due to the bulldozing activity and rodent disturbance. Unit 101 was placed against the exposed south wall of the same room and was excavated approximately 50cm further into the mound to provide better information on stratigraphic contexts.
