Category: Layer dug in 2012
Area: TPC
Interpretive Categories: Pit infill
Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit; Deposition: homogeneous
Dimensions: 1.10 x 0.90 x 0.57 m
Discussion: This pit infill was placed into a pit cut that was dug down through parts of a neolithic wall. The wall is clearly truncated in a sort of oval shape. The fill was very homogeneous, soft, moist, dark brown soil (when dry the color is more light brown). An oven was also found, sticking out of the section in the SW side of the pit. The actual fill had a good number of ceramics, a few animal bones and obsidian flakes, two groundstones, and one smaller worked stone.
