Data Category Information: Description: pit

 

Description: Fast track 

 

Discussion: Cut of sub-circular pit. Before excavation began this feature had all the hallmarks of being a grave cut in platform F1502, plaster surface (10408) with the cut clearly visible, and defined by a scrappy plaster top fill (10414). However, this feature contained only very few fragments of bone, within a back fill deposit, suggesting that if this was a grave then it has been removed and the cut cleaned. Another possible explanation could be a basin. Deposit (10416), a strange lumpy clay layer, hints at water being present present but it by no means conclusive. Even after excavation, this excavator is still undecided as to what it is/represents. For all intents and purposes, it is just a hole cut through a plaster surface, backfill with debris and detritus, with the odd layer of scrappy plaster to level things up.
