| Description (summary) | 2001-07-05 | jlw | outline of pit seen in profile in section of the E baulk in the NE corner of k11. [Input: L705JLW.j] |
| 2001-10-03 | jlw | this feature, was first seen in the east baulk of k11, in a N-S section, after cleaning the excavation from MZ6. It was our impression that it was a half section of a pit. From the bottom up, this feature appears as a series of layers, including red, brown and gray material which rise upward against the south face of the pise wall, f268. After about 10cm of these layers, there is at least 40cm of disorganized bricky material above. [Input: LX03JW2.j] |

| Argument | 2001-10-03 | jlw | most pits we encounter are round, with the bottom in the shape of a half sphere. To a degree, this is what we appear to be seeing. However the E-W section through what would be the center of a small pit shows the bottom layers to be flat. This means that either the pit was very oblong in the EW direction or that this feature is not a pit. The E-W section also shows N-S courses of brick, f229 laid on top of the layers, not the disorganized jumble of f269. jlw concludes that f269 is really accumulation or fill atop a floor system that extends south and west from pise wall, f268. The excavators (including jlw) did not recognize it and dug it out to its present state. The rise of the top layers of f269 along the south edge of f268 is typical of the intersection of walls and floors. The material in the top may well be brickfall or fill for the next phase of building, marked by N-S pise wall, f225, which cuts f268. [Input: LX03JW2.j] |
