It was excavated during the start of this year's excavation (2013); it was investigated with trowel. It was located north of feature 3688 (which is in the middle of B.102, dividing spaces 17 and 18) approximately 10 cm, and it went into the northen trench wall. Therefore its extent remains unknown.
This is basically a large cut feature, and was assigned a feature number mainly because, even though only one fill, it was quite large, counting that it also went into the trench wall. It contained one fill, consisting of a clayey compound of clay, ash and many charcoal lenses. In this sense the fill was quite homogenous. Findwise, (some) animal bones were found as well as a few obsidian pieces.
Since it was located under room fill (although visible with still some room fill left in S18) it was dug down in the floor. It was quickly filled (one event). Functionally it is hard to say what the pit was made for, since it goes into trench wall and we can't see the full extent. | | | | In situ Conservation: No | | Lifted: No | | | | Number of Related Diary Entries: 0 | | Conservation Recorded: No | | Related Photos: 6 (Opens as a group in a new window) | Buildings: (Click to view the record)
