SU 10072 represents the fill of cut 10039 (therefore equivalent to 10038). The soil matrix of 10072 was a loose light greyish-brown soil, with little cultural material and low amounts of small rocks. 10072 and 10038 were not deep, extending only 10-20 cm to the bottom of the cut and the next layer. We halted excavation at this point for safety reasons, so cannot say what layer is underneath 10072. Although we were able to follow more of the cut 10039 with the excavation of 10070 and 10072, and can now see that it is roughly circular, we do not have any more clarity on the purpose of the cut 10039 or its fill.
