Context Number: | 3695 |
Description: | Cut of possible robber trench |
Notes: | Cut of possible robber trench cutting through clay spread (3680) of little Room 2 and is truncated by V.T.[1557]. [3695] appears to continue under later wall 1742 although as yet they do not connect. The definite robber trench is numbered 3708. [3695] does not appear to continue in the middle of little Room 2 as clay spread 3680 is present. In which case we may have a doorway of an earlier house wall. 17/08/02: It was shown that [3695] continued and that there was no doorway between [3695] and [3708]. Clay spread was part of robber fill. NB: [3695]=[3708] Plan no: 11.73 (pre-ex) and 11.78 (post-ex) section no: 390 |
