Unit 31588

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: infill of a pit 7728 

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

Discussion: - an infill 31588 was recorded as deposit accumulated in circular cut U.31588 situated in north central part of the Sp.531. Its exploration initiated on 20.05.2016 however after collecting samples (S1 and S2) and identifying the edges of the cut the work had been ceased mostly due to a possibility that the feature 7728 might be related with a funeral practice that took place long before the abandonment stage of the house. Since the ongoing archaeological proceedings at that time concentrated on the last phase of use the decision had been made to stop working until proper sequence would be reached all over the area.
