| Description: | The context shape in plan is circular. The top break of the cut is sharp. The sides of the cut are convex. The break at the base of the cut is gradual. The base of the cut is tapered point. Truncation: none. | |
| Notes: | We exposed this cut in the excavation of 6572; it cuts the surface that 6572 reveled, as yet unnamed and unexcavated. It may be in use together with the threshold block that remains in situ as part of 5519 wall foundations 6575. We were unable to excavate it in full because of its tapered shape, so the height is only putative. 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. | |
