The remaining insitu coins rested on a distinct black organic patch c. 20cm by 15cm on top of this layer. They were at several different angles but in distinct rows or groups, possibly from being arranged in rows or falling that way naturally within a loose bag. The organic material was unstructured and was interpreted as possibly decayed leather rather than a more fiberous material such as wood.
