Large pit feature located in the southwest of the northern of platform of space 112 (platform on Mellaart 1964, fig 11 plan). Mellaart reconstructed a post in this locations, probably on the basis of plaster scars. Given that post retrieval pit were found on all the other spots Mellaarts plan shows posts (f.1705; f.275; f.276) it is likely that this is a post retieval pit, although no plaster scar was present.
The level from which the pit was cut can no longer be established, but the feature appeared immediately below the level of the truncated and weathered floors left in the 1960s. Three fill layers were recognized in the cut - top to bottom units 10816; 10820; 10823. Unit 10820 contained plaster debris with red paint fragments probably deriving from the plaster cover of the post. Unit 10823 is the result of overdigging and does not really relate to f.1703.
Mellaart reconstructed mouldings on this post, but no traces of remnants of a moulding were found in the cut. |
