Description SU 7022 contains pit/disturbance like material from the southern area of the trench. It extends into the southern balk. [See southern scarp drawing] SU 7012 extended over the top of this area. SU 7022 can be distinguished from SU 7017, to its west by the color of its very loose, soft matrix, which is darker than that within SU 7017. These two SUs (7017 and 7022), together with SU 7019) are likely associated with one another—perhaps part of robbing activity.

This SU pulls away from architectural debris under SU 7015. It appears to have had stones extracted. We will stop excavating in this area of the trench now this season.

See final top plan and photos for view of excavated south levels and articulated debris below this.
