Interpretation

Function:

Dry storage above ground level (since the jar base is slightly higher than the lowest exposed course); the storege could have been for just about anything since no definite evidence exists other than the jar

Stratigraphy remarks:

Though there is a hard-packed surface to the W (in 7K71's N balk), it seems to have been merely an exposure surfcae, close to the modern surface; there is really little help with dating in the stratigraphy
