After the removal of a further 10 cm the surface of 1:4
was exposed and a number of items of material culture
recovered (Fig.s 15 & 21) . At the surface of 1:4
about 40 ceramic sherds (cat. 7) were found along the south wall of the unit. Another c. 80 sherds (cat.
6) were found further to the north. In the northeast
corner an area of slightly darker soil was exposed
and was labeled as 1:4 Feature 1. The feature contained
a small ceramic pot (cat. 9) and a clay earplug
(cat. 10) as well as c. 62 ceramic sherds with a
dark brown resin adhering to the exterior surface.
The only other feature in the main part of the
the unit at 1:4 was a clay square feature c. 5cm
deep, located to the north west of jar 01020093.
Other items of material culture were exposed
on the surface of 1:4 including three large ceramic
sherds comprising a flat pot base (cat. 8),
a whetstone fragment that matched one found
in spit 1:2, twenty-one thick ceramic sherds.
At the 1:4 level, a small piece of limestone lies to
the east of Jar 01020093 and near the east wall
a larger piece (22cm) of limestone was found.
In the extension, 1A, the limestone blocks (1:3 Feature 1)
were further exposed. Around 1:3 Feature 1, to the east,
are ten ceramic sherds (cat. 32) and to the north some
small (6-7cm) pieces of sandstone. South of the feature
three large ceramic sherds were uncovered (cat. 17).
In the extension, 1B, on the surface of 1:4 an iron artefact,
possibly a small blade (cat. 42) was found below
the stone jar. Two limestone blocks were further
uncovered as well and some sandstone chips. A
C14 sample was taken at this level as well (cat. 40). In removing the soil of 1:4 a change in the colour was
noted. In the matrix there were many bits of quartz and
sandstone chips (>150 pieces 2-3cm in size). The matrix
at this depth begins to turn a reddish colour. The
soil in 1:4 was noted as dark reddish brown (2.5YR 3/3).
