Description (summary)	2002-09-26	fAB	This is not an aggregate in the normal sense, but is used to link all the phase 4 pits found or dug in MZ15 that are above the stone pavement a12 in k110 and k108. [Input: MX12FAB.j]
Description (summary)	2002-09-26	fAB	f273, f298, f299, f295 are all small pits in the south of A16 that contained nothing except one that contained a small child burial (f?) excavated in the very end of MZ14. f250, f216 were round pits that could have been dug as storage or as wells: both cut stone pavement a12; both were filled with ash and seemed to be used as trash pits. f276 (a19) and f209 (a16) were rectangular pits that contained tombs: f209 cut stone pavement a12. f217 (a15) is a jar burial that was found in the N portion of A16 and did not cut ^pv a12. f183 is the large pit (a13 / a17) that we assume is a mix of smaller pits that collapsed into a hollow. f305 (a18) and f304 were child burials that did not have an identifiable pit associated with them due to the material above. A15 had a pit that would be part of a13 and also removed the stones, it is to the S and a bit E of k108. A10 had a tomb similar to f276 and f209 to the W of k205 just on top of the W boundary wall of the courtyard. [Input: MX12FAB.j]

Notes on time sequencing	2002-09-26	fAB	it is assumed that these pits are all from phase 4 or phase 5. Perhaps all are phase 4 except a13/a17. Phase 3 is present in only a very thin layer and in installation a23. [Input: MX12FAB.j]
