47.6-S/180.1-E = 37 cm. below datum point, 27.93 m. above absolute elevation

49.2-S/180.1-E = 30 cm. below datum point, 28.00 m. above absolute elevation

49.2-S/177.1-E = 25 cm. below datum point, 28.05 m. above absolute elevation

Before T-51 was opened organics were trimmed from the top surface and the west and south scarps were cleaned, removing backfill soil and spill from higher up.  From the cleaning approxiamtely a dozen small pieces of terracotta were recovered along with five sherds of pottery and two fragments of bone.  See page 17 for opening diagram of trench.
