Place: Ar/Ge.T19.533

The soil at the top of L533 was the same dark brown/grey silty loam matrix as in L532. In L533, we found a small ceramic cup (possibly used in metal working/metallurgy) in the SW corner of the locus. We came down on bedrock, as well as areas of hard packed clay surface (which is probably floor prep laid down on top of the bedrock). We found a piece of charcoal (Ar/Ge.T19.533.C14.01) NW quadrant of the locus. We found a tuff sling stone (Ar/Ge.T19.533.L.01) to the east of the LBA wall. There are two long, linear, white colored geological seams in the bedrock in L533, which run east to west. The bedrock is deeper between the two seams. The area that I thought was clay at the bottom of L532, was actually part of the seam. There is an area of hard packed, dark brown soil (possibly clay for floor prep for an EBA room?) which is around the rocks east of the LBA wall in the NW corner of the locus. We found a small piece of groundstone (Ar/Ge.T19.533.L.02) in the NE quadrant of the locus. We found another piece (Ar/Ge.T19.533.L.03) just west of the large, dressed stone, and a third piece (Ar/Ge.T19.533.L.04) near where L.02 was found. We found a larger piece of groundstone (Ar/Ge.T19.533.L.05) near the center of the locus. We found a polishing stone (Ar/Ge.T19.533.L.06) near the center of the locus. We found 3 horn cores in L533. We took a large piece of charcoal (3 cm x 3 cm x 1 cm) for radiocarbon dating (Ar/Ge.T19.533.C14.02) near the center of the locus, on top of bedrock.
The bottom of the locus is bedrock.
