Post-depositional Features: roots 

Basal Boundary: clear/anthropogenic/regular but angular, ie following straight and vertical edges as well as smooth sloping ones, because this feature is 3-dimensional and partly (as a result) being dug inside out, these boundaries can be seen from 2 perspectives, (3335) may have been moulded, or may have been slapped in against moulded items
