| Square | 7K90 |
| Code | 002 |
| Designation | Rocky tumble in and below topsoil |
| Field | B |
| Locus type | Earth |
| Area | B |
| Start season | 1984 |
| End season | 1984 |
| Start date | 1984-06-28 |
| Bottom separation | Average |
| Created at | 2010-07-05 |
| Top separation | Very Clear |
| Updated at | 2010-07-31 |
| Stratigraphy remarks | Underlies L 1 throughout square; somewhat arbitrary distinctions for bottom where tumble & upper courses of Walls 3, 4 are mixed |
| Reason | Visible rock tumble through topsoil |
| End date | 1984-07-18 |
| Supervisor | H. Dates |
| Function | Rrock tumble & earth between tumbled stones; Function is inadequate concept for heavy tumble; broken, disturbed surfaces, architecture below |

| Earth Remarks | Mud brick, brick frags. (see installation supplement); shells, lithics, querns, grinders abundant; medium to large boulders in Loca 20 & 21; column base in Loca 21--large, rounded, flat, 88 cm diam; tumble N of Wall 4 contained small & medium boulders along face (47.5, 38.0, 44.0 x 36.0, 33.0 x 17.0 cm) & three large cobbles (avg 20 cm)--Loca 26, 27, 28; sorting was primarily wind; random sorting should also be noted; numerous partial querns (both basalt & limestone); increase in animal bones & shells prompted jocular speculation about "kentucky fried goat, with snail appetizers;" bricky material in probe (Loca 35) at level 913.95; probe in Loca 28 yielded 7th-6th century single-spout oil lamp w/convex base--ca 70% intact, no surface involved, level 913.91 at top center of lamp, located 1.10 m from S balk, 1.66 M from E balk; probe in Loca 22 yielded accumulation of long bones with butcher's marks, astragali (from S balk 2.15 m, from E balk 1.94-1.72 m), at least 3 bones showed fracture marks at point of impact by top-lying stone (ie fracture resulting from rock tumble), levels on bone deposits--913.90, 913.82; Loca 33/34 junction--yielded small clusters of unworked flints |
