Unit 8975

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: burial superstructure 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Material: brick

Dimensions: 2.24 x 0.39 x 0,09 

Discussion: This is a row of 12 horizontally placed brown mudbricks that are integral part of burial superstructure. They form the base of proper burial marker in the form of diagonally placed mudbricks (unit 7890). They have uniform size: 0.38 x 0.20 x 0.09 m. However six of them are partly destroyed from their southern side, which is a result of burial infill collapse. As a result of this postdepositional factor, the row of bricks is slightly sloping down to the south. The bricks seat directly on top of the mudbrick wall, probably Neolithic in date.
