We started digging the unit as two separate units (6639-6643). We thought that it can be possible to follow the cuts. The infill is so far very similar mixed middeny material. As we came down to the skeletons, we realize that it is not possible to distinguish the fill from one another. It is obvious that when the platform reopened for the latest burial , rest of the bodies disturbed, the latest put in and whole cut refilled with the same material. Now, we stopped these units on and on the arbitrary level will start another one to compare the fill in the cuts.
