- Context
- A belll-shaped storage pit that is interpreted as having been remodeled at some time for use as a roasting pit. Three to 4 courses of masonry form the pit collar. Interior dia. of pit collar is ca. 60 cm. Walls below are bright orange, and this burned attribute extends to ca 20-30 cm above the floor. Sandstone slabs were apparently embedded into parts of the pit walls. Function of pit is unclear and it appears to be more recent (based on the date) that the abandonment of the region in the late 1200s, unless the sample was contaminated.
