Description

  • CH06SR0927
  • Fill of a pit between cistern and wall course 0922, Area 3, courtyard
  • Large well formed pit with the dimensions [at definition] of 1.2 M (NE-SW) X 90 cm (NW-SE) and 40-50 (?) cm in depth. The pit is larger than these dimensions as it extends in to the profile; see the cut for more accurate dimensions. [this context number actually refers to the fill, rather than the pit. The fill appeared under the rocky soil 929; according to ATR ntbk, this was "a clean layer of compact, slightly darker soil"; it was partially excavated, with about 1/3 of its volume left in situ under the balk around the cistern -- ATR, 6/07]
  • Its possible that the N/NE side of pit is covered by 0883. The entire pit was not excavated as it extended into the profile. See photos 1573 and 1574 for cut of pit. Other finds [more than ceramics] likely. [Note that this pit was excavated hastily on the last day of excavation, so some of this record was filled in after the fact -- ATR, 6/07]
