Discussion: It is a second (lower) layer of an infill of a big pit in S edge of the extension. The first layer was unit 7845 and their common cut was 10908. This pit cut a burial (which as also cut from W side by Mellaarts trenches) from the E side. This skeleton (only upper part of the body) was excavated as unit 8989 lying within unit 7820 - without cut. Within the infill 8937 there was found one femur (unit 8988) which may belong to the individual of unit 8989 and got to this infill while destroying the burial.
Both infills - units 7845 and 8937 are placed within the cut 10908 in the base of which a mudbricks grave marker was found (made of diagonally placed bricks) which was marking another burial dug into the cut 10908. This burial was excavated as units 8917 - grave marker; 10936 (infill), 10937 (skeleton), 10938 (cut).
