This feature is not excavated in 2004 (only fill within the rim 7950) because it is between phases other than existing features. To date, we interpret this feature as a shallow basin or collapsed bin. It consists of a presumably continuous retaining wall on the north, west and south sides, Maximum preserved height of this wall in the NE is 19 cm. The wall consists of a orange brick core with plaster. It seems to be cut in the east and preceeds (goes under) the partition wall F.1659. The surface under the bin fill 7950 looks similar to the surface in 1852 ane perhaps similar to the truncated surface (7944) over 1656.

This feature number was used to describe a ?bin? In 2004 but has beenused in 2006 as the number for the repeatedly extended and cut back platform between the internal wall F1659 and the S wall F 1658. Several basins have been constructed upon (F1652) or cut through (F1497) the platform at various points, floors have been cut back (see truncated edges on plan 06/1212 and pits dug [13648]. Other unexcavated features are also visible such as a much earlier basin wall (F1498) and a large pit beneath pit [13648] visible in plan and section in truncated area.
It is possible that the truncated floors at the NE corner of the platform may represent another episdoe of hearth construction removed prior to 2006 (just an idea though, no proof!)
1) Small square platform constructed, possibly as an extention to an earlier feature abutting the internal wall F1659.
2) Several floor layers added and small basin constructed in NW corner
3)Platform extended to the N, covering basin F1497, wall constructed along N edge of platform
4) Platform extended to the E.
5) Hearth cut into platform [14413]
6) Hearth cut into platform [13645]
For reasons that escape me now we renumbered this platform F.4007 at some point during the 2006 excavation. In my final report I refer to the south platform as F.4007 throughout the sequence. It is one feature that undergoes extensive modification. DE 2010 |
