Narrative

    • A possible foundation or levelling layer seen under gravel/rubble F309, and truncated by construction/foundation cut F301. It was seen throughout the northern half of Tr3 and to the east of wall F302, and so potentially is inside the structure. Within this layer was a charcoal rich lens (3012) which was sampled for flotation with the hopes of finding material that could be C14 dated.
