VIIIABC Below-ground silo constructed of cobble and boulder sized field stones one row wide (15-30 cm.), eight courses high from its internal surface 11030 (ranging between 20 cm. to 1.10 m. in depth). The installation is roughly circular with measurements of approximately 2.00 m. wide (E-W) and 2.50 m. (N-S). The interior face of the silo had been coated or plastered with a fine clay to at least half of its preserved height.

This silo was cut into platform ll010; it joins wall 11012 on the SE and was built against mudbrick wall 11032 on the NW. Debris 11024 filled the interior of this locus. Surfaces 11030 and 11034, interior to silo 11029, marked two phases of its use. Deep fill 11030.1 for construction of surface 11030 prepared silo 11029 for secondary phase at a higher level. In its secondary use 11029 served with surface L.11030 as a storage bin for large storage jars (see locus) 11024. A lower, earlier surface 11034 was discovered as well as an additional 1.5 m. of stone courses to the installation itself. In its primary use with surface 11034 installation 11029 was a silo. Mortar and a clay plaster were also found as a lining in the earlier phase of the bin. Additional evidence for the two phases of use of installation 11029 was seen in the differing style and shape of the upper courses of stonework associated with surface 11030. The larger stones used in the upper courses and the circular shape (as opposed to smaller stones and oval shape of the courses below surface 11030) indicate two phases of construction as well as two phases of use.

An interior surface 11046 was covered with burned chaff and represents a deliberate fill within the bin (perhaps in only a secondary use-phase of the bin alone.) A few of the top stones of wall 11074 were incorporated into the western part of the bin. The function of the bin is not clear from its contents: apparently after the bin was no longer servicable it was used for the deposit and burial of a cow's skull (midden 11072). Burned chaff on surface 11046 (prior to deposition of 11072) may indicate it was a storage bin for grain or for the by-product Of threshing. See Section South; Photo 866, 877. 11043 Str.
