This feature was recognized by unit 8292 (the fill of F.770) as distinct from F. 770 because they are separated by a plaster wall which they share. This part of the fill if this cut was taken out in #8292 before the wall was recognized (in 2001). The fill contained chunks of burnt clay, ash, packing made of yellowish clay. Below this was a rd clay "floor" covered with very thin layer of patchy white ash. This bricky packing was placed above a layer of mottled sediment (mixed material). While removing this layer, something that could be the floor of the bin - patchy plaster - was revealed. We tried to follow it, together with the ledge of the bin, but only a dirty floor surface appeared in some parts of the bin. The plaster previously discovered was soft and concentrated in blobs, mixed with red bricky material and grey sand. We came down to the salty "surface" which is different than the floor in the rest of the space, and could be ealier.
The wall of the bin rests on this salty, dirty floor, and is made of sandy tough material (unit 8427). Final removal of the bin wall (unit 8550) revealed that the bin was sitting on top of the last plaster floor in NW corner of buiilding 3 (#10). |
