Codex entry
- Entry 1
General-category disposal site with no single industrial origin. Institute classification treats these as mixed-stratum deposits: packaging, paperwork, broken furnishings, and household discards compressed into archaeological cross-sections of late pre-war daily life.
- Entry 2

- Entry 3
