This feature consists of a cut unit 20173 and an infill unit 20172. It is a later period (hellenistic) pit that reaches down and appears to truncate neolithic levels. It is similar to the other late pits in trench 2, especially feature 3935, which arrived at similar levels as this feature. This pit looked to have truncated a neolithic period wall 0.27 m below the surface. The wall looked like it connected with the wall in trench 1 (feature 3910). Three courses of bricks were present of the truncated wall. After the last course the entire pit seemed to reach a base of a much more compact clay (almost grey in color) and what looks like a midden with many white phytoliths appearing.
Year 2013:
During the season it turned out that the pit was unexcavated. We explored the rest of the pit which was 102 cm deeper. Its boundaries was clear and the bottom was very distinctive (yellow/orange bricks and plaster). In S part oven construction appeared. |
