Stratigraphic Matrix Diagram

The matrix diagram above shows the spits outlined in red, their relationships to each other and to the master numbers of the features which they overlay. Each of these master numbers is made up of a number of context numbers, all of which can be seen when viewing the individual catalog entries for each master.

Discussion

This spit was removed to define the position of a Grubenhaus (002CA00089), which turned out to be one of the few occasions where intercutting Grubenhauser were excavated. In fact, Grubenhaus 002CA07000 was shown to cut Grubenhaus 002CA00089. Finds from the initial clean of the features were lifted under this number before the quadrant numbers for the Grubenhauser were issued. This spit was also below the much larger spit 002CA00086.
