Discussion

An amorphously shaped area on the western chalk edge of the dry valley was originally thought to be a Grubenhaus, and was excavated in quadrants. This was a spit over the north-west quadrant. The "Grubenhaus"  turned out to be a number of different features, and the finds from this spit was primarily from above the south-western quadrant of pit 012AD05554. The material removed was a dark silty clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 2/1) with a high charcoal content and 10% chalk inclusions.
