Interpretive Categories: Burial fill 

 

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

 

Dimensions: 1.05 m x 0.73 m x 0.26 m 

 

Discussion: This fill represents the context surrounding both burials f. 3961 and f. 3931, since despite being two separate events, the two cuts and their fills were indistinguishable during excavation (we were finding elements of f. 3931 from the outset of excavating f. 3961). Therefore, although there were two filling events in the burial of the four individuals documented here, the fills were sufficiently mixed and sufficiently similar (a red clay loam throughout) to give them the same number.

Note on samples:
All soil was sent to flotation. S1-S12 should be regarded as one sample.
