All pickpasses in locus 5 have been concentrated in the eastern 1.5 meters.  This is to find the extent of the cut and determine if the level drops along with the natural topography.  Locus 7 has had pickpasses concentrated in the western portion of the locus.  Another pickpass was thrown in each locus.  A possible forno fragment (Special Find #201) and a diagnostic bone (Special Find #202) were found.  A ridged pottery fragment was also found in locus 5 (Special Find #203).
