Unit 11789
Category: Layer dug in 2005
Area: TP
Interpretive Categories: infill of a burial
Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: burial; Deposition: heterogeneous
Dimensions: 2.20 x 0.80 x 0,59
Discussion: This is an infill of a pit in northern part of an extension. As the exploration proceeded it became obvious that it is a burial pit cuting a Neolithic floor (11752) and using a Neolithic wall (10985), forming a kind of a niche below it.
This infill had an extensive heights and within it boundaries - in its eastern part another unit was distinguished. It was infill 12203 containing human bones and fragments of plaster which were interpreted as fallen from the space 248 unit 10986 (wich contained many human remains recorded as x finds or skeletons (partial but articulated) within it. It is therefore essencial to compare human remains from unit 10986, skeletons 11566, 11569, 11700, 11571, fragments of human skull(s) from unit 11771 with x1, x4, x5 and possibly aome other human bones from infill 11789.
In the basal boundary of unit 11789 a layer of clay in centre and eastern part of an infill was observed which resulted in prominent and sharp end of the unit in this part. In western part unit was finished at the same level.
