Category:   Cut
Notebook:   1103
Context:   6201

Description:   The context shape in plan is square. The top break of the cut is sharp. The sides of the cut are vertical. The break at the base of the cut is sharp. The base of the cut is flat.
Notes:   This cut was uncovered by Potenza and Boehm when excavating Fill 6141; the session ended and so they were not able to continue exploring the cut and its fill. We decided to investigate it further. The soil within (recorded as deposit 6202) was much darker and warmer in color than the surrounding area which helped us define the cut. The bottom of the cut came down on another wall course and appeared to continue further along under the cross-wall 10081 but, since we do not yet have permission to take down wall 10081, we did not pursue the cut. It seems to be a robbing trench for wall 10086, a long wall abutting the exterior of the house.
