Unit 32731

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: infill of a pit 

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

Discussion: U. 32731 refers the infill of pit F.8324 is revealed after excavating the floor and make up layers (U.32701). Infill is identified by its orange color which was the same color with make-up covering the pit. After 5 cm of excavating this orange infill it is understood that it was the same with the make-up and was sealing the actual infill of the pit F.8324. It most probably shows that the make-up of the floor was coated in the same time when they filled the pit to make the floor even. After revealing the actual infill, second archive sample is taken as S4. Infill was silty, ashy and included charcoals, salts and chunks of clays. Closer to the bottom of the cut, S5-organic material is uncovered on the eastern edge all along. Although the cut of the pit looked like a proper burial cut, there was nothing inside the pit and infill did not give an important information to understand the purpose of the pit. Most likely, retrieved pit is filled with the mentioned infill.
