Locus type: Earth
Designation: Rubbly fill
Locus type: Earth
Designation: Rubbly fill
Start date:
03 Jul, 1989
End date: 12 Jul, 1989
End date: 12 Jul, 1989
Rationale
Reason: Numerous organic inclusions, nari, charcoal
Top separation: Clear / Bottom separation: Average
Interpretation:
Function: Rubbly earth layer with pit characteristics, but too widespread over Wall 44 in N
Stratigraphy remarks: Later than the destruction of Wall 44
Locus Date: Late Iron 2/Persian

Remarks: First thought to be a pit of organic material seemingly lined with small boulders which at first appeared patterned but later seemed random; the slope of boulders around W side follows sloping stratigraphy of W balk; later excavation revealed this to be rubble-filled layer exending over wall 44Pebbles: 400.0
