Discussion

This was a cleaning spit to define features in the north-eastern quadrant of area 2DB (the last of four, beneath 002DB00144). The material removed (by shovel0scraping and then trowelling) was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/4). No 3-dimensional points have been retrieved for the finds from this spit. Three Grubenhäuser (002DB00173, 002DB00232 and 002DB00289) were finally defined by the removal of this material, as well as 12 pits in a pit alignment (002DB00387) , which continued west as 002DA00010 and eastwards to the stream channel as 002CA00165 and 002CA01136..
