This is a cut through the floor from phase 1. It is below the bin/basin (F. 782). The cut is part of the screen wall construction. The cut was made in series of floors from phase 1 and in the midden beneath the house. The cut extends from the screen wall towards the west wall. At least one basin feature was destroyed when making this cut (F. 782) and possibly the fourth basin feature as well. This basin would have been placed where unit #8444 was opened.
Cut has a very irregular shape. It is surrounded with F. 780 and F. 781; its west part lies below former F. 750 and central part is under F. 782. The fill consisted of reddish brown clay, under which a floor level was discovered, going under F. 780. On top surface of the fill there was a concentration of obsidian debitage.
The northern half of the fill contained compact beige clay (unit #8444) in a layer of cca 3 cm below which is a floor like surface.
Southern half consists of mixed fill (unit #8436) in a 10-15 cm thick layer. It comprised of midden material, compact beige clay and chunks of white plaster. The compact layer and plaster are the remains of the cut for bin/basin F. 782.
It is not apparent why such a large cut had to be made. It is obvious that in the NE area of the cut there was a post installed, which was surrounded with large chunks of white plaster. |
