Two items of interest were found in these excavations. The first was another stone wall foundation, running east-west along the alignment of the site as a whole. Due to the second feature of interest, a midden containing dense deposits of artifacts and faunal material, this wall was not fully excavated. However, this wall appears to be similar in width and general construction as those associated with Room 1, although perhaps not as well preserved. This wall was uncovered for a span of 9.5 m. A space of approximately 25 cm separates this wall from the southern edge of the east wall of Room 1. It is possible that one of these two walls was built as a later add-on to the first. However, unlike the wall junctions in Room 1, these two foundations are not connected, so we cannot be certain that they touched when in original form.
          In excavating along this wall, we recovered a high quantity of ceramic, lithic, and other types of artifacts. In addition to artifacts, we found increasingly abundant deposits of faunal material. Only in 99-2.8, which lies to the southwest of both of the walls in question, was there a lower quantity of faunal and artifactural material. Amongst the excavators of this area was Elizabeth Scott, a professional zooarchaeologist. As in Room 1, a hard earthen surface was defined here. This surface is roughly in the same elevation range as the surface in Room 1, although perhaps a few centimeters lower. However, as the foundation is not completely exposed at this level, it would appear to be emplaced somewhat lower than the foundations of Room 1. It is under this surface level that the faunal material was uncovered in greatest concentrations. A second hard earthen surface was uncovered between 0-15 cm above datum. The relationship between either of these surfaces and the surface in Room 1 is uncertain. We cannot at this time suggest any superposition or other stratigraphic relationship between these two areas, until further excavation reveals the original construction floor for the southern wall uncovered in this area.

          Unit 99-2.9 (16W 40S) was the only midden unit excavated to the TBJ (dating to the Early Classic period). Level 1 had stopped 8-10 cm below the surface (the surface here is between 31.5 and 46.5 cm above datum) when faunal material was found. Level 2 was excavated to between 26 and 30 cm above datum, and consisted of a mixed black organic carbon soil and white ashy soil with flecks of charcoal. A variety of faunal material including pig and fish was recovered to the east of the east wall of Room 1, with the exception of low density in the southeast corner of the unit, which we later learned was above the southern wall. Though Dr. Scott has undertaken preliminary analysis of the 99-2 faunal remains, a complete analysis is not currently available.

          The bulk of the artifacts and faunal material was recovered from Level 3, which was excavated to a depth of 18 to 24 cm above datum. The top of the southern wall foundation appeared in this level. All of the midden material was to the east of the east wall of Room 1, and mostly (but not entirely) north of the southern wall foundation. In addition to the faunal remains, a large quantity of ceramic sherds were found literally stacked up here, including several partial vessels. A black (10YR 2/1 Black) greasy sandy loam was uncovered in the northeast corner of 99-2.9. To the west of this, a light brown reddish black mottled coarse grained sand or ash area (10YR 5/3 Brown) abutted the east wall of Room 1. The matrix of the rest of the unit was a dark brown loam (10YR 3/3). The black soil which first appeared in the northeast corner of the unit is the primary matrix of Level 4, excavated to a depth of 13-20 cm above datum. This matrix does contain some jute shells, faunal and artifactural material, but appears to mark the surface that the midden was deposited on. Below the black layer a final dark brown (10YR 4/2 Dark Grayish Brown) sandy loam with few artifacts overlaid the Ilopango TBJ ash deposit (dating to the Early Classic period) at 9-15 cm above datum.
