This was a cut that was recognized beneath F3699's last levelling layer u.30588. It was quite big (ca 1 m in lenght) and had a semi-rectangular oval shape in plan, but also its sides and base were symmetrical. Its fill was homogenous and quite sterile, that is, no at all find-rich. Some small shell fragments were observed. Maybe flotation sample will tell more of origin and content.
As an "empty cut" as such, it seems that it was carefully cleaned and then filled with "clean" soil. It is very hard to say why it was made in the first place, perhaps as storage or container of some kind. Perhaps its function can be tied to its proximity to the hearth opposite it. It is also possible the function of this pit continued in F3699, the basin built above it. |
