Context
Corn cob from cist in alcove. Cist is small, bell-shaped, cut into the indurated soils on the W edge of the structure. It meas. 20 cm at its mouth, 30 cm on the interior, more than 30 cm deep. Several cobs lying inside the pit were probably placed there by looters.
Comments
Dated feature described as a bell-shaped pit, but it is actually a bell-shaped hardpan cist; maize sample from within the cist
