Today we continued excavating our feature in EU 18. The soil is filled with charcoal and a greasy brown looking soil. Robin wanted to see how far down the stain went so we bisected the feature in the SE quad and continued digging on its west side. This was so we could see the profile of it, While digging half of the feature we continued to find historic artifacts, but we also found what appears to be half of a stone pendent. We marked it as a special find. While digging we also took Munsell soil samples of the different colors of soil we were seeing. A sketch of the stain was also done on graph paper.
