2004 TRENCHES PC 23 & 25 Robert Vander Poppen, Field Supervisor Martha Reichert, Assistant Field Supervisor Week 2: Virginia Lewis and Kamissa Mort in PC 23. Last season, in the northeast corner of the site we had discovered a firepit characterized by a fill of charcoal and ashy soil. The remnants of the fire had burned the soil in the area turning the border of the pit a bright red color. This year we will work to understand the relationship between the fire pit and the altar blocks to the south. Our current understanding is that the pit follows the use of the blocks, but this season's excavation will serve to clarify the arrangement. Hopefully this season will help to clarify the sequence of building and the soil relationships in these areas.
