Remarks NOTE -- removed all to be drawn sherds and so none of the items listed were drawn. In this locus is one sherd (that if not so low fired and if not accompanied by other relevant material could be taken as RBW of MB) that unlike the others is well worn on all sides so that is seems to have been used as a tool, perhaps for burnishing or something similar. Made it a KT. Also in this locus is loom weight and "polishing tool" Note preponderance of the thin red-brown paint used in the pottery in this locus.
Has note Finds Bags, or KT bags, are groups of artifacts of the same material composition excavated from a locus. Each finds bag may contain a number of finds but finds are always separated by material. Thus, ceramics, bones and lithics excavated from the same locus were given separate numbers and were collected in separate bags. A special category is the "small find," which could be of any material. Small finds are generally speaking rare or exceptional finds such as figurines, loom weights, andirons or worked bone tools. Small finds are given separate numbers and are bagged separately. Finds bags could consist of only one plastic bag of material and could only be excavated on a single day.
