Interpretation

Function Since sherds were very worn, it is prob that they were also material from the well that had been in place for some time; this would be understandable if there hadn't been any use or clean out from LR until Byz times as is suggested by the other dumps; could have been field debris with pottery from the plow zone
Stratigraphy remarks The latest pottery found was Byz; however, since it was found only in the first bucket, it is poss that the lower part of the layer is ER, although no interface was found
