Unit 30914
Category: Layer dug in 2013
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: burial fill
Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: burial
Discussion: This unit is localized in the north-east corner of the cut u.19891. This layer is characterized by a light brown colour and by a large concentration of bones, above all skulls, not connected among them. Important to note that the human remains visible are five or six skulls and some long bones; we also found a ring made of shell and a clay ball.
Like the other accumulation of bones in the south-east side of the cut (U 30913) this layer also should be intepreted as an accumulation of bones, maybe to lay down a primary burial, but we are not sure yet.
The unit was excavated by leaf trowel and by the human remains team's kit.
