This is one of three bins found in sp. 509, the interior of a Roman building. They are all rectangular in shape, but this one is slightly different than the other two, in that it is much deeper and was not filled with ash-- only with the deposit u. 30246 which is either an occupation layer or the deposit associated with the buidling's destruction/abandonment. This may suggest that through the use of the bins, they may have been deepened over time, as contents were scraped out perhaps. Alternatively, this bin may have been systematically and intentionally dug out when it fell out of use. The flatness of this bin and the lack of any plaster on it makes this a likely explanation. It is these bins, and the kinds of vessels found in building 120 which have caused us to tentatively identify it as a storeroom.
This bin is aligned E-W and runs under f.3993-- the highest and most likely latest of the three bins. It disappears into the S edge of trench 3. |
