3-Up Site (LA 150373) - Unit 201 Summary

Unit 201 is located in Area B, at the northern edge of a large bulldozer cut through the central portion of Area B. This excavation unit was intended primarily to allow excavators to expose a profile and examine stratigraphy in this area without doing extensive excavation or disturbing the remaining unlooted portions of the site. The unit’s location at the edge of a deep, steep-sided bulldozer cut was ideal for this purpose. No walls were visible in the portion of Area B near the bulldozer cut, so Unit 201 was simply located in a high area of the remaining mound where the bulldozer cut’s edge appeared relatively steep from the modern ground surface.
