Unit 11945

Category: Layer    dug in 2005

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: bin fill 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: bin; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.4 (NS) x 0.6 (EW) 

Description: fill near the wall 

Discussion: Bin fill.
One of the two identical fill surrounded b walls and plaster. The wall is much more clear at the west side.
On the other hand, the consistency is different when compared to the adjacent fill (11946). It is much more firm than the other unit, which can explain the existence of the wall. The unit is much more rich in terms of animal bones.
The inside plasters are badly preserved so that it was hard to find the bottom of the fill. Later on it was understood that most of the bottom plaster was destroyed (by human or nature).
Some small human bones (might be belonging to a baby) are found under the plaster level; and as an initial look there seems to be cut for the burial. Original Total Deposit Volume entered as 0 altered by system check 30/08/09
