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

 

Dimensions: 1,46 m (N-S)* 1,07 m (E-W)*0,05 to 0,10 (depth) 

 

Discussion: Defined by the western edges of cut. The 3 skulls seemed to be related with human remains underneath that layer. We started to exposed some bones and artefacts. They looked like being in situ, and the skeleton seemed to be in anatomic order, but the basal boundry was not so clear and the line of the cut was not defined. The northern part of the cut was defined by a different kind of material, which has been dumped. Probably it should be one more feature cut into the feature.
