| Description POSI | Jasper quarry - Use of jasper erodes down field from outcrop. Huge ammount of jasper, generaly good quality, moved by plowing and water. Heaviest concentration in lower (larger) field adjacent to the field wall, incorporating a few jasper blocks. The stone collected probably from two to five percent of whole, impossible to say how much of that remaining is cultural as opposed to outcrop material. Plot 404, outcrop appears in SU1608 with both raw material lumps and fragmets outcropping (secondarily) in smaller field SU1607 (plot 416) a larger amount of material, both cultural and raw material in lower larger field to the west (plots 411, 412, &381) |
