F2005 is one of the three bins built against the eastern wall of space 93. It is the middle one. The bin is square with rounded crners and it's 55cm x 55cm in dimensions; preserved on a heght of 50cm. The back wall of it is room wall 2007 and the bin seems to have been built against it at a later stage. Argument for that hypothesis is that the plaster layers on 2007 go uninterrupted behind the side walls of bin at junctions.
The side walls:
-the northern one is common wall for bins 2005 and 2003, separating the two. It is about 12-13cm thick and it is plastered on both sides.
-the southern one is separating bin 2005 from 2004 and it's very narrow but plastered on both sides.
-the western side wall of bin is very similar to the southern one and were treated as one curved wall.
All three side walls were preserved up to the level of surface scraping, being identified as such from the first day. All three got truncated by the archaeologist.
The fact that the walls of 2005 were intact indicates that the bin was full at the moment of abandonment, while 2003 and 2004 were not entirely full and their walls got broken by the house collapse.
Fills:
-the lower half of bin was filled as follows: the eastern half was filled with a clay pike in the intention of reducing the capacity of it. The western half was filled with cruciferae seeds. Both tese fills were sealed by another clay fill which by the apearance of it seems to have been placed there intentionally. This could be part of a storage or processing process.
The walls and the bottom of the bin were excavated in 2013 whowing that it was costructed together with the bin F2004 right after (during the same construction event) that wall (before plastering of those walls). |
