Discussion

This was a cleaning spit across the stony buried soil (002CA00081) in the area cut by the stream channel, extending out to the east and west. The material removed (by trowel, although shovelled in the south), was generally a sandy clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/6). The finds were almost all small and abraded, and again (as in most of the material from this buried soil deposit) ranged in date from the Neolithic to the Medieval periods. Some clustering of the finds can be seen across three Grubenhuaser, 002CA00357 in the east and 002CA00089 and 002CA07000 in the west. Once again the lack of animal bones is notable (only 7), when compared with the densities found in the spits across the more loamy buried soil to the north (002CA00080).
