| Description: | The context shape in plan is rectrangular. The top break of the cut is sharp. The sides of the cut are vertical. The break at the base of the cut is sharp. The base of the cut is flat. Truncation: diffuse boundary in center, but continues to west; truncated by lower levels of storage pit cut 6457. | |
| Notes: | The stratigraphic relationship between this robbing trench, the surface it cuts, and the room to the west, speak volumes about the relationship between these two rooms chronologically. For example, the robbing trench cut occurs below a level of fill to the west (e.g., context 6527 revealed more of the edge of the cut, although the cut does not continue in the middle of the room). This fill was, in turn, cut by foundation trench 6509, which corresponds to the construction of wall 6027- more specifically to the later (putative) reconstruction of that wall section to accommodate the installation of threshold 6285. Therefore, one imagines a scenario wherein wall 6522 existed as a retaining wall, was robbed out, and the far east room was subsequently opened up for use; then, the threshold was built (with the foundation trench for neighboring wall 6027 being constructed at a higher level than th erobbing trench), and east-west communication became possible for the two rooms. | |
