Excavations resumed last week at the Long Barrack. Archaeologists worked in EUs 9, 11, 13, and 20.
Excavation Unit 9 is located against the Long Barrack wall. Within this unit archaeologists encountered a compacted lime surface and two postholes. The compacted lime surface was an intentionally prepared “floor” at approximately 90 cm below current surface level. The lime surface is from the Spanish Colonial period. There were also two postholes encountered in this unit at depths consistent with the Spanish Colonial period. Artifacts include ceramics sherds, lithic debitage, brick, and shell. The unit terminated at 150 cm below surface.
