2305: use contemporary with hearth F 2305 storage bin, there are pottery sherds, nearly complete pot, few obs and bone. Bin was built by white clay.
We could not decide wheter it is a bin or a basin. It is different in shape and the material used than the two bins in Sp.283. If those two bins ( one of which is full of carbonised barley ), are bins than this feature can be called a basin. The walls made up of a whitish clay the cotenets are different - this F has a complete pot lying on its side with some fragments of bone. The pot inside the basin is quite interesting it is a dark face jar with burnish surface. It lies on its side. The upper half is broken the lower has a dense, dark, black resude?inside the jar which affected the soil below.
Interpr. Of chiris D: It coluld be a liquid that caused that black traces, at first sight it looked like as if the post was burnt but it is not the case it seems! |
