This feature, a circular pit, consists of a cut and three infill layers. The first fill layer was a distinct light grey color and very soft (but friable in some places) silty soil with inclusions of charcoal (a lot), bone (animal), ceramic sherds, and obsidian. This type of soil gave way to a more brown silty clay layer first reached in the SW part and farther down in the NE part, creating a sloping base for the first infill. The cut was very distinct and circular in shape. In the level of the first infill, the cut was truncated to the east by feature 3918, suggesting that f 3919 is the older pit.
After the first infill unit 20144 was excavated, a second infill unit 20170 was uncovered, which has less of the grey ashy soil and more firm brown earth with mud brick rubble mixed in. The unit ended with the revealing of a more homogeneous brown layer below. At this level, the cut is no longer truncated to the east by feature 3918 and is a roughly complete circle.
A third infill unit of this pit was recorded as 20274. At the bottom, some constructional clay elements become visable. |
