The horn core pit itself contained (1664), a moist organic fill, and (1688), a loose dark brownish grey silty clay with frequent tile and brick fragments, and occasional oyster shell, chalk nodules, and frequent charcoal flecks, indicating that (1688) was a dump of building rubble and domestic waste.
