The pattern of deposition and the artifacts found in Feature 70 suggest it was a trash pit or privy (outhouse). It had a depth of  2.5 meters or about 7 feet . Most of the artifacts were tin cans, bottles, and bottle caps. The stratigraphy is not consistent with a single cleanup episode, and the assemblage is overwhelmingly "trash"--tin cans, bottles, etc.  If this were cleanup after the massacre, we would expect items such as stove parts, broken valuables, bed parts, and other furnishings.  These were not present in Feature 70.  Our conclusion, therefore, is that Feature 70 was used for trash disposal while the colony was occupied, and is more likely to be a trash pit, or privy. The sheer number of bottle caps in this deposit also makes one wonder if it was not also a place for private drinking. We found a wire frame and stand for a wreath that was probably used in one of the annual memorial services held on the site since 1918. The wreath had been deposited in the pit after the trash had been buried by silting.
