| Description: | The context shape in plan is semi-circular. The top break of the cut is sharp. The sides of the cut are concave. The break at the base of the cut is gradual. The base of the cut is concave. Truncation: The cut runs to the wall of the Turkish House. It is either truncated by the wall, or was originally a semi-circle. | |
| Notes: | This is a small cut near the SE corner of the Turkish house. The semi-circular cut abuts the house wall. We have not yet reached the base of the wall foundation, so it is not yet clear whether the wall was built with a foundation trench or not. If it did have a foundation trench, it must be lower and the cut must date after the wall. However, if, as seems more likely, given the late date of the house and the ceramic date of the surround areas currently under excavation, the wall was built without a foundation trench, the cut must have been truncated by the building of the wall, meaning the cut may have originally been circular. The fill within the cut was excavated as 1030, and was dark with small flecks of carbon and was very soft. The cut was originally exposed by the removal of context 1013. We are excavating this general area behind the house in order to understand the relationship between the stratigraphy within the house (excavated in the 1960s) and that outside of its walls. | |
