Interpretation
-
- This deposit consists of an intentionally laid out arrangement of small sandstone chunks/blocks within an orangey sand matrix above the natural. It consists predominantly of stone chunks and probably represents an initial stone foundation for wall 2345 set within an orangey sand levelling/foundation layer similar in nature to (2432). It was kept separate from (2432), associated with a disturbed context above, to ensure a lack of contamination within samples taken from this undisturbed wall foundation. This was separation was particularly important because of the discovery within this undisturbed foundation layer of a piece of animal bone SF340 that will be suitable for C14 dating to provide a probable construction date for the wall.
