About this Nonstructure
General Location
Arbitrary 104 is located in the central portion of the site.
Specific Location
Arbitrary 104 is located under Structure 108, in Segment 1.
Selection Criteria
Arbitrary 104 is used to define the pre-occupational calcium carbonate deposits under Structure 108, in Segment 1.
Use
Arbitrary 104 is the pre-occupational, undisturbed, natural, calcium-carbonate deposit underlying Structure 108. Arbitrary 104 was only found in Segment 1.

Excavation Details for Excavation Units
In order by excavation unit number.
Excavation Unit
13
Location
Segment 1 N E.
(Segment 1 is 10.5 meters long, 70 centimeters wide.)
Segment 1 is located in the central portion of the site.
This excavation unit is southeast of Arbitrary 105, and west-northwest of Nonstructure 106.
Selection Criteria
Judgmental. Segment 1 was used to investigate the nature of an electrical resistivity anomaly.
Excavation Strategy
Other. Overburden was removed using a backhoe, until rock was encountered and it became clear we were in a structure. At this point, natural strata were subdivided into 25 centimeter arbitrary levels.
Unit Ends at
Structure floor. Excavation terminated at approximately 81.70 meters below datum. The floor in this excavation unit likely eroded away, revealing the underlying, natural, undisturbed, calcium carbonate deposit.
