Unit 30929

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: burial infill 

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

Discussion: The unit was exposed in 2013. The unit is situated in the northern part of the building and it has an oval shape. In the central part on the top of the infill, there were some bones, part of a cranium, and a long bone of a child. We removed part of the infill and we exposed the 2 skeletons (sk.30927-child, sk.30928-adult). In the southern part of the infill along the cut, we found many other bones belonging to at least 1 other individual: the bones were disconnected and could come from a previous deposition which was moved to make space for the new one. On the eastern part of the unit we found, on the top of the lower limb of the skeleton of the adult (sk.30928) many disconnected bones belonging to an infant: we assigned them to the infill, but collected them separately. In the southern part we found a shell with some traces of color (x1). Under the cranium of the child there was the imprint of a basket of vegetable fibre (x2). At the lower level we found a lot of bones from a child, concentrated along the cut, near the area of the pelvus of the adult.
