What we named a flint cache is a cut of a circular shape in the NW corner of kitchen area, close to the oven F. 778 and other cuts (F. 753, 754). It was dug from the floor #10 (unit #8378) which belongs to the earliest phase of the building. It is surrounded by layer representing left-overs from the oven F. 778 (rake out material) and make-up soil.
The fill of the cut consisted of heterogeneous material, also remains from the oven area: charcoal, baked clay, ash, plant remains, gypsum, etc. In the sides of the cut one can see that the cache was inserted into layers of of floors and packings in the kitchen.
The floors which covered this feature layer were very damaged because of the vicinity of fire installations. At the bottom of the cut a flint blade was found (x1 in unit #8393). In the south edge of the cut there is an animal hole.
The base of the cut is orange packing that corresponds with the same level in central area F. 606 and platform F. 169. |
