Unit 10701

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: burial fill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: burial; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 33 cm N-S / 74 cm E-W 

Discussion: This is an arbitrary unit because there is no clear grave cut. Fill was removed in and around skeleton and considered burial fill. Fil was dry silty clay w/ gravel sized clumps of dirt and some small rocks. Roots and plant remains were found throughout. Skeleton was heavily disturbed by plant activity. Fill was friable, requiring only slight bags of finds from this unit of fill. Burial was also very close to surface which could account for the poor condition of the burial. Unit was recognized as human bone, was uncovered by MAC as he was cleaning the area. It had been discovered last year and was on the plan from then. 

Recognition: human bone was discovered; area was explored

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.
