The bin is a square construction with slightly rounded corners. The walls are preserved to a height of 16 cm. The bin was badly burnt. The infill was full of ash and pieces of burnt clay. Charcoal was common in the lower half of the infill. A large lump of charred mustard seeds was found at the north wall. The seeds were wrapped in something before burning, as the lump was flat and oval in shape, as if they were keept in a wrap of skin. Th elump was 26 cm long, 9 ch wide and 5 cm thick. It was collected as X2 of the infill.
The stratigraphic relations of the bin:
It was built on the lower layers of floor u 20491, but the upper layers go up against the walls, which means the floor and the bin was contemporary.
The walls of the bin was build against the northern wall of sp 95, F1022. The plaster of F1022 is found behind the Eastern part of the bin wall.
And it seems that the E wall of bin F3650 is just above the truncated W wall of bin F3649.
Construction of the bin:
It looks as if they put long rolls of wet clay on the floor where they wanted the bin and then place already made and dry walls by pushing them down into the wet clay. Then they palced supporting clay on the junction between floor and bin wall on the outside - smoothing it out on the floor and lower part of bin walls. See photos 4973 and 4974 and profile on sketch. The walls are ca 3 cm thick under the supporting clay that make the base of the walls look thicker. |
