Roster Date Author Record
Definition 2010-02-03 sC pit [Input: U203SC.j]
Description (summary) 2010-02-03 sC Aggregate 3 is represented by a pit and its fill (f136 is the pit cut and f137 is the fill of the pit) in k100. f137 is a shallow pit, very large in diameter; the fill is composed of ash layers and pottery sherds (some of which are very big in dimensions). Only a small portion of the pit fill has been removed, i.e, the northern portion of f137, since this pit falls mostly within the southern baulk of k100, which has not been investigated during the 2006 excavation season. At present, the function of pit f137 is still unclear; it does not seems to be a dump pit. [Input: U203SC.j]
