Things you need to know about Building l before you use the data:
The entire site was carefully hand-troweled and screens were not used for artifact recovery.
Measurements are in feet and tenths of feet.
Building l was excavated using the "Wheeler Box" excavation system of 8-by-8 foot quadrats with 2-foot baulks. This system was later expanded to 10-by-10 foot quadrats, resulting in a miscellany of different-sized quadrats. Unit size varies from 8-by-8 foot and 2-by-2 foot quadrats to 4-by-10 foot quadrats. Quadrats 176, 177, and 178 are L-shaped.
Artifacts from areas excavated by Pi-Sunyer were not cataloged into the DAACS database, except where they were crossmended with artifacts recovered by Kelso. Building l contexts that are not a part of the DAACS database include 177A, 177/329A, 177/178A, 178/328A, 250/328A, 328B, 329B, 328/329B, 178/253A, 178B, 328A, 329A, 328/329A, 177/178TPS, 178/253TPS, 342/346TPS, 250/328TPS, 177TPS, 329/341TPS, 177/329TPS, 178/328TPS, 328TPS, 329TPS, 328/329TPS, 178TPS, and 178A.
