Description

  • CH06SR0877
  • Ashy black soil in N Area 3 in courtyard
  • Very black, fine ashy (almost like soot) layer, that now appears to fill a pit. The extent was difficult to determine at first because there are several other contexts appearing at the same time and there was much mixing (wind did not help). Several hearth bottoms and slag were recovered. Context at definition was approximately 1.4 M (NW-SE) X 1 M (NE-SW) but after removing contexts 0884 and 0876 the extent increased to approximately 2.1 M (NW-SE) X 1.6 M (NE-SW) and was approximately 18-22 cm in depth, though less so as it extended to SE.
  • Looks soot(y)-like- Allyson has this context extent on plan. Very little tile. It now looks like 0884 is over 0877, Larissa identified ceramics as early byzantine 5-th centuries, maybe the start of the 7th century.

Interpretation

    • Fill of a pit associated with metalworking activities. The large amounts of fine soot indicate it was used for either a fairly large event or a long time.
