Notes: | This basket records the cut of a possible robbing trench. Shape in plan: linear, straight and parallel Corners: none Dimensions: L 4.40, W 0.75, Depth 0.23 Break of slope-top: On S- sharp, On N- gradual Sides: On S- vertical, On N- convex Break of Slope-base: On S- sharp, On N- gradual Base: A tapered blunt point Orientation: linear, E-W l Truncated: It was cut at the east by another robbing trench and human disturbance removed the NW part of the cut. Fill nos: B 173 and possibly B 104 Other comments: The main reasons we think this is a robbing trench is due to its linear form, orientation with known walls, and its relationship to a series of floor surfaces to the south. It runs parallel to a wall below the scarp dug in 1936 by Amyx and Morgan and is perpendicular to the possible robbing trench in B 111 and to a wall exposed in the 1961 excavations. Also a series of hard surfaces, probably floors, were removed to the south and they respect this line so it may have been the wall of a building which was robbed. | |
