Shallow oval 'bowl' shaped cut of pit. Cut into floor (12578) in SP257, B53. Lower part of pit filled with what appears to be redeposited floor and make up material, possibly redeposited when feature dug out. Then filled with ashy/ charcoal dump and above that deposits representing slumping of floors/ make up as the lower deposits subsided. Three groundstone and four obsidian artifacts recovered from throughout pit. Pit sealed by floor make up layer (12551).
Discussion
Pit could have been storage for a cache of obsidian and groundstone which was later recovered. A few items either missed or deliberately left. Original cut for storage pit presumably totallly removed by later retrieval cut or items placed under floor prior to laying of any make up of floor material, ie during construction phase?? Two other pits F1538, F1539 both similar time and similar function? |
