| Description: | The context shape in plan is irregular. The top break of the cut is gradual. The sides of the cut are concave. The break at the base of the cut is gradual. The base of the cut is sloping. | |
| Notes: | Following excavation of 6428, a post hole (cut 6431) was revealed along with this pit (fill 6433). The "pit" is located immediately south of the west half of wall 5519 and is semi-circular in shape. The cutting is very rough, without sharply defined dimensions, and is very shallow, especially in the west where the slope is very near the floor surface. We speculate that this may have been a floor patching event. POST-EXCAVATION NOTE, 15-06-09, S.L.: Contexts 6663 and 6649, at least one of which underlies this context, were found to contain two joining coarse incised ware body fragments of the Frankish period, dating to the mid-13th century. These sherds will stratigraphically change the dates of every context that lies above them by as much as two centuries, of which this context is one. Until it is decided whether there is some other reason that this discrepancy might have occurred (e.g., these contexts need to be situated in a different place on the Harris Matrix), the dates will remain as they have been assigned on the basis of pottery/stratigraphy prior to discovering this discrepancy. | |
