Site Description | Natural rock outcrop with boulders; but in '92 a number of tools were found. Hill itself=200m in diameter, but site or sites, if they exist are very scattered and thin. Artifacts appear to have been turned up when furrows for the trees were plowed. Area of hill according to guard is 50,000 donums which seems wrong. Hill itself does not appear to be source of the flints that were worked, although the site opposite (KM) is reported to have flint sources. 2002 Edges of site now damaged and has a communication tower built near it (EFC). |
Survey Conditions(include time spent on site) | Heavy vegetation plus some trees; NS transsect from center point in circles of five meters every ten meters failed to turn up much, furrows where pine trees planted yielded more but only a few tools; |
Questions for Field | is there really any pottery on this site. EFC says that she only remembers flints, and if this is the case, then why are there these comments in the collction summary - to what site do these comments really apply? Liz checked the slides and there are no pictures of any pottery sherds, so that we are proceeding on the assumption that this was a mistake and there are only flints on the site. |
Collection Comments | Only 2 tiny sherds, could be earlier. There is a casual picture of a collection - contains flints AND sherds. One overhanging rim jar - looks EBA/MBA trans or MBA or poss even LB. Two painted atop buff slip sherds (one red, one brown) are prob LB or IA. Rest hard to tell. [CD 3446:1] |
