Descriptive Attribute Value(s)
Description
  • Hard smooth surface, appears heat/sun cracked. Blue grey areas many indicate staning due to burning
  • Hard sloping surface consisting of a rammed earth layer cracked through drying/heating so that it flaked into ploygonal pieces on removal. Beneath this was a plaster layer 2-5cm thick which broke into large hard lumps. Below that was a soft powdery deposit, red-brown in colour becoming brownish-black toward the south western limit of F262. This corresponded with a blackened area on the first earth layer suggesting burning had occurred there. Pottery, flin and bone occurred very rarely in the overall matrix.
