Interpretation
Function:
Poss soil fill in a pit, but there were very few pottery frags to suggest a pottery pit; the number of flints was large for a locus this size, so it may have functioned as a flint fill pit
Stratigraphy remarks:
Seals against Bedrock 7 to the N & E & Wall 14 to the S; removal of E balk in 6K06 suggests it seals against bedrock to the NW; stratigraphically above S 30
