| Stratum: | 40% small-medium subangular pebbles; ceramic sherds | |
| Description: | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is light brownish brown. The soil compaction is soft. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand. | |
| Notes: | This is the fill of a very shallow, very regularly cut flat-bottomed pit in the center of the S portion of Unit 2, Room 2. The shallow nature of this pit suggests that the cut would not have supported any major weight-bearing element (e.g. the support for a roof). There are some inclusions in the fill of this pit, but they are not present in a very high quantity or diversity of type. It is either a shallow refuse pit or the cutting for the support of a small feature within this room. We will continue to excavate layers of floor fill within this room in an effort to locate a pit cut at the center of the room, as well as cuts for foundation trenches for the room's walls. See context 549 for this deposit's cut. Animal bones, 0.05 kg, thown. | |
