Category: Layer dug in 2001
Area: Trench I
Interpretive Categories: pitfill
Data Category Information: none
Dimensions: 1.4m N-S x 1.7m E-W x 0.34m deep
Description: Recognised as soil within clear cut. Defined by edges of cut.
Discussion: This pit is a possible graverobbers pit. It has probably cut through one Calcolithic wall, slowing in the east side of the pit wall. There was much animal disturbance in the east and south so it is not clear exactly how the pit looked like there. Finds like the fragment of bead, metal ring and iron nail bits, 16 fragments of tile, some with finger decoration (examples kept) and 13 pieces of limestone siggest a Byzantine date.
