Notes in 2000:
Fire installation was dug into platform F.169 and is cut by F. 604. Fire installation was recognized first with unit #6265 (fill unit) consisting of bricky leveling on top of the properly burnt unit #6266, which probably represents the remains of burning just above patchy floor of the fire installation dug as unit #6273. Beneath this floor full floor surface has appeared and has been removed as unit #6360. Beneath it, forming a shallow scoop fill of darker burnt soil, of quite soft and silty texture was dug as unit #6368. In northern part of this unit hearth floor appeared, probably representing another, older fire installation following dark lain, apparent to the N-W of F. 630 and of F. 632.
Phasing: feature was cut by F. 604, thus pre-dating F. 604, and it appears that unit #6266 was beneath the floor level #6276 which then probably post-dates F. 630, and gives the phase of when exactly in biography of platform F. 169 this hearth was installed and used. Also, feature seems to be sitting entirely on extension of the platform after phase "D" unit #6361 and onwards.

Notes of excavation in 2001:
We removed the base of this feature as unit 8153. Actually, the feature's cut was most probably this part - unit 8153. The same situation goes for F. 604 since its rubble base (#8146) was the same as this one and it look like F. 630 was also cut into this base/platform extension made of burnt construction rubble and packing mixed together. |
