This feature is documented here as a cut because it represents the cut made for the construction of the earliest phase of hut occupation in Area D. It is difficult to determine how this relates to the hut(s) on the south side of wall 3030, as the wall, and the pedestal beneath it, obfuscates any view of the southern limit. It is possible this functioned as an entrance to the hut, or perhaps was a smaller hut adjacent to the larger hut located in the center of Room 2. The bottom of this feature may be cut bottom, but may also be an even earlier phase of the hut context documented here. This feature was cut into the brown, crumbly vertisoil that covers the entire site, and, into which, many cuts, seemingly related to the earliest phases of settlement in Area D, were made. Core testing will be conducted in this area in the final week of the 2015 season to determine whether or not any anthropic layers exist below.
