| Stratum: | Inclusions 90%: primarily boulders and cobbles; some roots and tile as well, along with coarse and medium pebbles. The color is dark and light orange, with white also. | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is slight down to the E. Bottom slope of the context is slight down to the EThe soil color is mixed. The soil compaction is very soft. The soil is very poorly sorted. It is clay. | |
| Notes: | This basket consists of hard clay in the middle of the north and northeast 'walls' of the orange clay feature, and includes a large number of burnt stones in a layer of packing at the bottom of the orange clay feature. The burnt nature of the cobbles and clay uggests that the orange clay feature is an oven/furnace. Three barrowfuls of the deposit were sent to the dry sieve. The two cobbles always visible up to now at the southern extent of the orange clay feature were removed while excavating this basket. These cobbles were certainly part of the stone packing of the floor and were later kicked up by disturbance in the area to the south (B78, B80, B29). Note: none of the deposits in the orange clay feature (B86, B88, B90, B92) have had bone (nor did B89, outside the orange clay feature, have bone). This deposit taken to be the floor of the oven/furnace; a floor built of stones with clay packing in between. | |
