Interpretive Categories: Hearth deposit 

 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: hearth; Deposition: heterogeneous

 

Discussion: We were continuing digging F. 3436 and we recognized a new unit because of the consistency of the hearth deposit. This layer was more loose and not so compact than the layer below (U 18983). Also in the central part was more friable than the northern part of this unit. This unit was also formed with clay and ash. We defined small pieces of charcoral mostly in the north-western edge and here we found burnt animal bone. This hearth was formed because of human activity and seemed to be heterogenous.
