Description
- CH06SR0816
- Fill of pit in S courtyard corner of wall 296 and section 2
- At defintion the pit appeard to be 60 cm (NE-SW) X 1 M (NW-SE), however at approximately 15 cm below surface of definition it was determined to be two pits side by side. The other [pit is] 0823. After both were identified the dimensions are 60 cm (NE-SW) X 84 cm (NW-SE) and approximately 30 cm in depth. The soil was very dark brown with few clay inclusions. The sides are steep with a relatively flat bottom surface.
- Artifacts were medium to large in size, not as fragmented as many other layers. [Although we do not have photos for exact definition at surface if this context, one can get a good idea by looking at photos 1203-1205 and 1279-1283.]
