| This feature was recognized as a pit. It's very similar to many other neighboring pit features. Similarities occur by shape, depth, and consistency of soil. The cut was shallow and had a circular shape in plan. The infill of this pit (U.30721) was heterogeneous, composed of many animal bones, obsidian flakes, groundstones, and even a shell. Moreover the feature contained substantial amount of pottery sherds, which may indicate a storage function of this pit. However, the exact purpose of the pit is unclear. The feature (pit infill U. 30721) was recognized by the differing color and more loose consistency of soil from the surrounding orange and quite compact soil. In this way we established the boundary on both sides as well as the bottom of the cut. Western part of this pit lies within the Western edge of the trench. The feature was excavated using trowel and brush. |
