One of three bins in former space 158, cut by the screen wall (F. 601) and surrounded by two other bins (F. 780 and 782).
The walls of the bin are well preserved, as well as the top surface of the bin which is actually its last floor, later covered with new floors. Northern edge/wall of the bin seems to be southern edge of F. 782 at the same time, or is cut by it. Eastern edge is not quite clear because it was probably destroyed by the screen wall. After removing the first floor a thick packing was excavated (both layers - unit 8418). It consisted of red brownish clay on top, and strange mixture of "pea gravel" and sand, with inclusions such like charcoal and plant remains. It is not clear whether this layer contained fill of the bin or was just put in to level the base for future floor.
In its second phase this bin is contemporary with the second phase of F. 780 an it appears to be earlier than F. 782.
Removal of plaster floor from the second phase gave way to the layer of dark brown clay lumps and concentration of redeposited oven floor,soot, charred wood and burnt pottery. This material was taken out separately, as flotation sample 6 of unit #8474. New floor was discovered below this massive packing (phase 3), sloping towards the screen wall (F. 601). This phase is contemporary with third phase of F. 780 (unit 8456).
The last floor (#3) was removed by unit #8557. It lied on the middeny dump soil, same as black soil to the north. |
