| The pit was identified by its grey color that separated it from the surrounding orange soil in plan view. The pit extends beyond the E edge of the trench and is circular. From the mud bricks seen in the profile of the pit's S and W sides, it is clear that the pit was cut into wall f.3952. The bottom of the pit is arbitrarily level with the bottom of pit f.7188 which cuts into pit f.7191. Because a mud-brick wall was found in the bottom of pit f.7188, we assumed a change in depositional context had occurred in the fill and thus the basal boundary of the pit had been reached. This reasoning, along with a change in soil color (to more orange) in the S corner of f.7191 allowed us to settle on a basal boundary. The discovery of copper in pit f.7191 indicates that it is at least Chalcolithic in date. The pit was excavated using trowel, mattock, and brush. |
