A large squareish pit in the north west corner of space 154. It consists of a larger upper cut [3070] with two fills - (3075) / (3076). there is a smaller lower cut [3072) with a single fill (3071)
Discussion:
Large pit in north-west corner of space 154. The exact top was not identified but it seems to have been cut late on during the infilling of building 5 just prior to the construction of building 1. as nothing was deposited in it, it was presumably for the retrieval of something either structural or artefactual. IT seems an unlikely position for something structural but analysis of the bone/Heavy Residue etc. failed to find any evidence about what had been removed. The distinction between cuts [3070] and [3072] suggests that after reaching the level of the horizontal plaster layers the original digger of the hole knew exactly where to dig to retrieve what they wanted. |
