Figure 9

A distinct ash lens encountered in core 13, 158–162 cmbs, Mound A. This ash lens was in low magnetic susceptibility likely due to the complete oxidation of organics in the sediment. The ash lens may be from a burning event prior to mound construction or perhaps originated from hearth scrapings.
