Stratum 600

Improved Essays
Stratum 800 lacks cultural material, so it was uninhabited. Seven radio-carbon samples were dated, which gives this stratum a mean calibrated date of 100 BCE ± 100. Stratum 700 was also uninhabited because it lacks cultural material. Three post holes were cut into the top of this layer (features K, L, and M). This building was constructed during the time of Stratum 600, and none of it remains due to the fire that formed Stratum 600. Stratum 700 is given start and end dates based off the the Law of Superposition. Its start date is 200 - 1 BCE, and its end date is 43 CE.

Stratum 200 contained Features D, E, F, and G, which were plough marks. This suggests that this layer was used as farmland. Feature C was a well that was only used for a few years. It was built at the end of Stratum 200 and at the beginning of Stratum 100, so it gives a date for both layers. The coin found at the bottom of the well gives the date of mid 18th century. The coin gives a secure date because the well was only used for a few years. The two artifacts in the stratum also help give it a start date. The brooch was dated to the 13th century CE, and a small cross between the 10th and 12th
