Notes:   Pass continuing where basket 59 left off west of pit 2006-4 and the well head/manhole cover. This pass continued to reveal large amounts of wall plaster and a relatively low frequency of pottery. We uncovered a few fragments of bronze as well as what may be a bronze point of some sort. The basket was stopped due to a slight change in the hue of the soil, with the lower level becoming a little more yellowish.
