SUPER FEATURE (cue Superman music).

Okay maybe not, but this tiny 20x20 centimeter around 6 centimeter deep feature produced 34 flakes (some beautiful heat treated pressure flakes), and a large piece of prehistoric pottery (which promptly broke into two). Everything was found within 2 centimeters of the surface and the remaining fill soil was sterile. Which would mean there had been a lot of artifacts in the soil that had been there. Unfortunately, the damn bulldozer which was to scrape the surface dirt away went way too deep and scraped away a lot of irreplaceable artifacts.  

You’re Looking at an Approximately 9,000 Year Old Piece of Grass.

We found a sealed feature in the BE horizon 30 centimeters deep. As per “school energy&environment” it takes 200 to 400 years to create 1 centimeter of soil. If we take 300 years as a mean and times that by 30 centimeters deep in the soil we can estimate its age at 9,000 years. We found several pieces and each were as soft and pliable as if it were still alive. ARCHAEOLOGY FUCKING ROCKS!!
