Cut in the eastern part of the kitchen area close to F. 753, 167 and 751. Excavated in 2000 (units 6229 and 6228) when the surface of reddish stuffed clay was reached which was probably taken as the bottom of the cut. Since the outline of the cut was still visible after removing surrounding layers (unit 8319), we continued emptying it.
The fill (unit 8337) contained that red-brown very strong layer of clay, below which was a layer of black burnt sandy clay with charcoal, pieces of animal bones, obsidian debitage, ash and gypsum. The contents of this cut are very similar to the ones of three cuts nearby (F. 753, 754 and 765), so they all probably had a similar function in the kitchen, something connected with usage of fire installations.
There's a fragmented stoneball in the bottom of the cut, and it is left in situ.
It is likely that the bottom of this cut is actually the top surface of the midden that lies beneath the building 3. |
