Definition 2001-08-19 okk pit cut [Input: L819okk.j]
Description (summary) 2001-08-19 okk This pit cut was in the NW quadrant of k1 and extended into the baulk of k91. This pit was irregularly shaped; the northernmost and southernmost extent were approximately straight lines, the westernmost extent was cut by the baulk, and the easternmost extent is cut into two semicircular lines. The southernmost extent of the pit also contained a row of large stones which appear to line the pit, f18. It is approximately 65 cm at its deepest, although the pit floor is higher in the east. This pit is dug into f107 and f137, the accumulations below floor f26. This smaller ashy pit rests upon a much larger pit below it, a11. The walls of a1 were laid upon this pit, and as a1 is considered to be phase 5c, it appears that this pit is 5b. This pit a8 is cut into the same accumulations as graves a5, a18, a19 and probably a20, so they are likely contemporary. [Input: L819okk.j]
Notes on description 2023-12-12 jw The supervisor's individual notes on pits a8, a11, f132 and their components including f130 and f131 are very confusing. In addition the photography is not particularly helpful. In the opinion of the editor, the best interpretation of the situation is that there were a series of pits dug in the same location at various times. A late occupation pit a8, was cut into the fill, f131 of a larger pit, a11. The cut of a11 was designated as f132 and at its bottom, it cut the formal flagstone courtyard, f216. No feature was assigned to the fill of pit a8. [Input: ZHz12jW.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Strategy (projected or implemented) 2001-08-19 okk This pit was dug carefully first from the top to distinguish the boundary of the pit. Then the fill was dug until we reached a compacted, levelled red lense that appeared to be the bottom of this pit a8 and the top of the larger pit below it, a11. This red lense was reached in the west, but a higher compacted pit floor was found in the east. [Input: L819okk.j]
