Description
- CH05SR0697
- Fill of the cut in bedrock, N corner of room 30
- Dark grey/brown compact soil with a fragments of ceramics, tiles, bones; located in N corner of room, 70x50cm, depth 30-35 cm, filling bedrock cut in that area below the level of 678
- The fill consists of two layers: the upper (7-10 cm) is a brown-grey with a lime crumb and stones. Compact. The lower is brown with a little of ceramic frag-s. The two layers were not distinguished during excavation, but one layer may represent fill associated with the period of use and the other, fill associated with abandonment; NB: very small quantity of ceramic evidence suggests 13th c. fill, but it is possible that the 2 frags. of 13th c. pottery (local amphora, Zeuxippos ware) are contamination from a foundation trench vel sim. that went unrecognized during excavation
Interpretation
-
- Natural fill of the hole -- layer of erosion from bedrock visible in section on NW wall, suggests cut stood open for some time
