This is a smaller pit within a larger, postretrieval pit cut through the floors f platform F. 162. The smaller pit is a posthole, well-defined in a shape of a half tree trunk. Its bottom part, which was below the floor level (buried in the building foundation) was packed with plaster so a nice plaster mold of the post can be seen. Also, the wall plaster of the earliest phase/floors lies in the balk of this feature. Inbetween moulding and wall plaster there is a dark brown matrix (unit #8400). East side of this feature is in line with low bank set of F. 162 and F. 173.
It is interesting to point out that this post is half tree trunk whereas post F. 766 was a complete tree trunk. This could mena that the F. 773 was not a structural post, and F. 766 was. The cut for the post was made in Phase I or II. In Phase III it was filled and no more posts were put in this place. |
