Interpretation

Context c604 corresponds to a layer identified against the structure c601, partially covering its southern side. It is identical to c620, but with a different number for practical reasons during the excavation. It consists of a sandy silt soil, with moderate limestone and charcoal inclusions, a few pieces of burned clay building material.

This layer contained a few artefacts, fewer than in the south (c620), but still quite significant, such as pottery sherds, chipped stones, ground stones, a shell object, fragment of a possible marble bracelet, pieces of clay building material. A few shells and animal bones were also retrieved.

The interpretation of this layer is the same as described for c620  : it is likely a layer formed by natural sedimentation during the period of occupation at the site.

[Original note taken on the context sheet : This layer covers c601. It is quite heterogeneous, somes parts contain more or less whitish small limeston inclusions (compound layer). After cleanin 40 cm depth, the northeast area came up with brown powdery soil, set c612, the limestone beame less, so change the context to c616.]
