Unit 11759

Category: Layer    dug in 2005

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: pit infill 

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

Dimensions: 1.00 x 0.94 x 0,48 

Discussion: It is an infill of a pit situadted in the middle of an extension. Originaly it was a probably of an oval shape but a small part of it was cut by trenches before 2001 when TP started excavations so this small part is missing.
Most of the pits infill composed of dark brownish deposits, while the bottom - more or less - 8 cm was ashy showing different colours: yellowish, orangish and even greenish.
The cut of the pit was excavated as unit 11760 and around the pit there were some others.
The diameter of the pit was getting smaller - from about a meter at the top, to 55 cm in the bottom which was also convex.
