Discussion

 This spit was directly under spit 012AA00092, along the original western edge of Area 12AA, and was removed in an attempt to a series of slots as they turned northwards. This was unsuccessful, and the spit was turned into a box section to assess the depth of buried soil and hillwash in this part of the site. A number of layers were encountered. Over 50cm of material was removed before the butt end of a small ditch (012AA00257) became visible.
