Unit 23614

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: fill of a rettrieved burial 

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

Discussion: a distinct in-fill U.23614 had been recognized as the deposit sealing the cut U.23615. The pit (F.8348) was located in the Western , NW part of the Sp.531. The composition of the fill seemed to be re-deposited elements that composed the packing U.32761 which covered the area of the mentioned room. In the course of the excavation it turned out that the sediment U.23614 covered the remnants of the fragmentarily preserved basket. The latter, implies that the infill had been deposited within the cut specifically in order to seal the burial.
There had been several samples collected with an intention to better understand the feature. Sample 2 (flotation) refers to the upper part of the pit. Sample 3 represents the sample of phytoliths recognized as remnants of basket. Sample 4 refers to the lower strata of the pit.
