Description: | Circular pit uncovered in Early Building II, south of Room E latrine, adjacent to the preserved latrine floor surface. Continues beneath the latrine surface and the western scarp (unexcavated). Fill relatively loose with a large amount of ash and bones, much cooking ware. Appears to be cut into surrounding harder fills. Excavated elev. 57.83-57.63m, stopped at end of season (continues deeper). Some material from this pit removed with Lot Γ 399 above. Revised 2008. At least three layers of fill. Layer I 57.98-57.87m, harder fill with what appeared to be decomposing mudbrick. Layer II 58.02-57.65m, softer filling streaked with ash and small bones. Layer II 57.61-57.45m, large tiles and substantial fragments of amphora. This pit seemed to be cut into surrounding harder fills that were also of the 4th c. B.C., including scattered votive deposit G 13:14 above. Pottery Lot: Γ XXIII T400 | |
