Discussion: The bin infill was composed mainly of dark, ashy material mixed together with patches of burnt clay. The bin infill was well framed by the walls; in many cases the infill easily flaked away from the sides of the bin walls (F. 3650). Charcoal was very common in the fill, especially near the bottom half of the later.

Of special note was a large piece of charcoal discovered on the far nothern side of the bin which was determined to be the very charred remnants of a mustard seed cluster wrapped in some kind of material. A piece of worked bone was also found in the bin.
