In looking at the distribution of clay balls throughout the site it is apparent that they occur in a variety of contexts - in building fill, middens, dumps, pits, burial fill and bricks/mortar. The one context where balls were rarely found was on floor or platform surfaces which are generally quite clean and free of any artifacts. Not only do the balls occur in a variety of contexts, but there is a relatively high density of clay balls in most of these contexts. It is therefore not the case that clay balls are most dense in any one context. The data from the 1998 season do however suggest that clay balls are frequently found in midden or accumulation deposits or in dumps and that they frequently occur with ashy layers and/or with organic debris (materials). The high density of clay ball fragments in bricks and mortar suggest that, after breaking, the balls may have been used as source material for mudbricks.
