This feature was recognized below building infill u.20481. First the horn cores in the fill of it was seen as well as the walls which gave a heads up that it was going to be a feature. It is a bin which is attached to the partition wall F.3688; it is a later addition to it.
The fill in it was removed carefully, with 3Dmodelling all the way (layer by layer) to really investigate the finds in it. Three horn cores were placed on top of each other; the first two cattle and the third sheep (wild maybe). Except for these finds (also some ground stones, stone bead) it was more of an infill material. The bin was probably filled during the time when the building was closed. The question is whether the horn cores were part of a filling sequence or if they were part of a usage phase of bin feature. That they were "floating" and that other artefacts also were found might speak for the former even if post depositional processes can make attached stuff loose.
The excavation of this feature stopped after removing fill u.20924, because we reached a good level (a bin floor) and nicely preserved walls. Next year (2014) will tell more of phasing of the bin as well as the bin floor's characteristics; even if one sample was taken for phytoliths.
Not fully excavated in 2013. |
