- This stratum presents a regular surface with slight slope to the south and west. It was composed of a reddish soil matrix that displayed evidence of burning. A badly decomposed fragmentary tile was found at the center. Inclusion included charcoal, which was concentrated predominantly on the eastern and southern limits of this stratum. Other inclusion were found in large concentration and randomly distributed throughout the stratum. While compact, due to the sand in the clay, it troweled easier than expected. The interface with the stratum below was noted by differences in color and consistency.
- The stratum identified and excavated in its entirety. There was no discernible pattern to the distribution of the reddish color in the stratum.
