General Information

Locus Type Installation

Supervisor J. Pichette

Designation Stone-lined bin

Reason Stone line

Top Separation Very Clear

Bottom Separation Clear

Start Date 12 July, 1989

End Date 4 August, 1989

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
