Folks -

I'd appreciate any input on the meaning of the term "Der Sauberg,", as noted on a 1766 map of the Moravian settlement of Bethabara in North Carolina.

Past translations I've seen interpret this as "town dump" or "filth or manure pile," but does anyone have a better translation?  Anyone out there ever explored a "Sauberg" archaeologically?

Thanks...
