| Description: | The soil color is dark greenish brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is sandy silt. | |
| Notes: | Pit fill 479 is the fill of a pit cut through the tile floor in unit 2 room A. This deposit is the fill directly below the circular stone feature. Excavation of this fill produced several large sherds of pottery. A sample was taken for water sieving because of the presence of charcoal fragments. As Thanassis excavated the fill the N and W edges of the pit were clear, but the S and E edges appeared to be opening into a lozenge shape. It became clear that 479 is actually the fill of a much larger pit so we close the basket in order to clean the top of the pit fill and detrmine the boundaries of the pit. Animal bones, 0.4 kg, saved as LOT 2014-56. | |
