Unit 20149

Category: Layer    dug in 2012

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: Pit infill 

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

Dimensions: 1.00X1.00X0.59m 

Discussion: This was the upper infill layer of the fill in the deep pit in the center of trench 2. It was extremely homogeneous- black in color and soft in consistency. The exploration of this infill was finished when the traces of phytoliths became visible. However the pit continued in depth, the infill that lied below was given a different number (u20154).
