| This is one of three bins in sp. 509, rectangular in shape which look a bit like graves. Two of them, including this one (and f.3993) were filled with pure ash and charcoal, but were not burnt themselves. These same two bins have plastered bottoms (for this one, u. 30276). They may have been used for storage or for some industrial purpose. They are extremely shallow, which makes mass production theories unlikely. The oldest bin is the deepest one (f.7152), which suggests the activities associated with these bins would have deepened them over time-- or that they would have been systematically dug out when they fell out of use. This bin lay immediately on floor f.7153. It is this bin, and the others, along with the shipping and storage vessels found in the space that have caused us to tentatively identify building 120 as a storeroom. |
