Description

  • CH06SR0868
  • Compact brown fill layer of pit 0601 in NW part of room 38
  • Last layer of compact brown soil in cut 601. This layer appeared after taking off the remains of the last layer excavated last season, CH05 0668, and the cut of pit 601 could still be seen. This layer only encompases the material within the original lines of cut 601.
  • The bottom of pit 601 is a contentious issue... This appears to be the last area solely isolated to this pit, and 668 is both the remains of pit 601's last layer last summer and the debris that accumulated in the pit as we were working around it in the beginning of this season.

Interpretation

    • One of the many bottoms to pit 601 - at level with the material to the E side of cut 900 but not to level with the layers at its W. This is a beaten surface, either by us or in the medieval period. This layer was below (but not covered by) 840 and was contained to the original dimensions of the pit laid out by Italo in 2005.
