Discussion: 12622 is the fill of an assumed retrieval cut- cut following the line of the foundation of building 41 (12630) and possibly removing some kind of structure (threshold).
Fill was recognised as being very different to 12629 - the fill of foundation cut 12630 - as much looser, softer with more 'flecking' of colour visible.
12622 was a homogenous, loose fill and produced much bone, obsidian and Neolithic pot (redeposited). Original Total Deposit Volume entered as 0 altered by system check 30/08/09
