This feature was recognized as a feature quite late in the excavation process. This is because that for a long time only the clay fill was visible, and the room fill u.20481 did actually have pure clay lenses of a bigger size. But when walls of the bin F.7115 were removed it became apparent that this feature was a feature attached to the wall, most probably a base for a post or a pillar, with the clay fill as part of the post.
The excavation of it 2013 stopped after two units in the fill of the base, namely the massive clay fill and a floor-like layer. Beneath, not touched, lies another clay fill. It seems this very compact, hard layer (the floor-like layer) has accumulated during some time and actually might represent when the post was replaced/not present. The clay fill seems to be perhaps a prolongation of the post itself. The full excavation of this feature will give us more information of this. Not fully excavated in 2013. |
