Excavation to clean up the pit f426 showed flat laid sherds underneath the lowest bricks of the tomb and also remains of tannur wall, decorated with shallowly impressed circles. This corresponds to a stage of occupation at the level of the top of the (secondary?) walls, f444. The pit had been cut into where f444 met f430. It is a possibility that the tannur fragments were contents of the pit. The burial f439 would then be later than the pit f426. But this seems unlikely since it is a layer of ash, and not the pit itself that seems to extend significantly under the tomb bricks. [Input: H726RK2.J] |
