Context: CH06SR_601
- Cut for a pit within the greater cut 900 in the NW part of the room. The cut is made up of squared edges on the SW side and semicircular edges on the NE. Along the SE edge there is a square shaped entrance (width 0,58 m; length 0.90 m) perpendicular to the edge of the pit. The overall dimensions of the pit are 2.23 m x 1.04 m. This pit was discovered last season and, though it was thought to be completely excavated, there was yet one more layer before it was complete.

- Layer of compact brown soil with prominent inclusions of charcoal and lime throughout, similar to Context 827 but more compact. This layer was rather thick and produced a lot of debris in the form of larger pieces of pottery and special finds.
Context: CH06SR_847
- Small area of compact brown soil that appeared to be a usage surface on the far W side of cut 900. This layer was confined to the W side of pit 601 and was contiguous with context 838. It produced only small amounts of pottery, bone and tile.
Context: CH06SR_868
- 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.
