Couple of questions:
1) Have you definitely established that the pots are related to the burnt feature?
2) What are the preservation conditions like? Interesting that surviving plugs might be organic - there could be other recoverable evidence of that ilk to help with interpretation.
P.S. Am just starting research for a dissertation on prehistoric perforated pots (oh yes, I know how to live alright). The thought of a Bronze Age hole with an in-situ plug, got me so over-excited that I nearly spilled my tea ("oo-er missus" x2). Please look out for my message!
