Unit 13148

Category: Cut    dug in 2006

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: pit cuts 

Data Category Information: Description: pit

Dimensions: N-S=5.50m, E-W=1.60m, max depth=1.62m 

Discussion: Series of Neolithic pits that appear to have been dug to extract building material. Three pits became incorperated into one large cut, and all filled with the same midden deposit, making it impossible to make a sequence of the original cuts. Slumping on the Northern side, and the fact that the middle built up in layers, suggests that the pits gradually infilled. The pit cuts will extend beyond the eastern L.O.E for 2006. The middle pit cut could not be bottomed due to Health and Safety of height of section.
SMc 08/07/07: Eastern extent of pit excavated and central part bottomed. See plan 07/603

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded
