Unit 15252

Category: Layer    dug in 2007

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: pit infill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit; Deposition: heterogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit

Dimensions: 0.34 x 0.28 x 0.05 m 

Discussion: This is a layer that is recognized as a pit infill situated under layers heaped up during Melalart's excavations. The layer is dug into an infill recorded as unit 15251. Its east boundary is made of a layer 15250 which should be linked with a post-neolithic phase on human activity at this place. Despite its small dimensions the pit infill consists of a great numebr of animal bones.
