Discussion: Unit 32715 is revialed in the end of 2016 season after excavating the U.32099 ( make-up and plaster layer) and excavated in 2017 season. This unit refers to the infill of Burial F.8319 situated on the North western part of the S.531. The infill was compound. While on top it was light greyish and mixed with clay pieces 1% , charcoals and salt, after 5 cm of it was taken, the color of the soil changed from grey to light brown and it included less charcoals. This light brown infill continued till the grey ashy layer appears. For two cm it was like a midden layer (Grey, silty and charcoal inclusions). After this layer is taken, light brown compound layer appeared again. This sequence is appeared 5 times ( Light brown and ashy layer, light brown and ashy layer and so on). Bottom part of the soil was very ashy where the skeleton U.32762 is situated. It looks like the burial pit cuts the midden like layer on the bottom. Infill was rich in animal bones.
