Description
en
SU 10039 represents the cut of fill SU 10038. SU 10038 and SU 10039 appear to be a substantial cut into and fill of the red soil underneath. We noticed both digging through SU 10037, under which we found a reddish soil layer with a distinct cut (SU 10039) along the northern side, filled by SU 10038. SU 10038 revealed moderate amounts of material culture, including 1 coin. SU 10039 was an uneven cut only 5cm deep at the western end but cut to approximately 20-30cm throughout much of the layer.
Because only an edge of the cut is preserved, it is difficult to say for certain what the extent or purpose of the cut or its fill would have been. At the bottom of cut SU 10039 in the west is a very compact grey clay layer; whereas in the east, the bottom of cut SU 10039 is a softer, light brown layer.
Updated the sketch on July 4th to reflect the small continuation of it that we found after excavating 10070, and to save making a new SU
