Discussion: It was a layer of an infill of a large pit (feature 1175) in S part of an extension. The pit was first visible in W section of the main trench while an the surface of the extension, within the pit, some smaller layers were distingnised (units 8953, 8971, 8970). Underneath, there was the first infill layer which covered the whole surface of the pit - that was unit 10907 and unit 10910 was distingnished underneath 10907 (it also covered the whole surface of the pit).
The third such an infill layer was unit 10922 which was even looser than the are above and darker whit the traces of burnt.
In the section of this infill layer (W section of the main trench) some strations were slightly visible however they were not noticed durinng excavating.
The shape and diameter of the third whole level (being also the last - bottom one) unit 10922 did not differed from the one above (secound layer - unit 10910) and there fore it was not planned - so see the shape of unit 10910 in the plan 04/823.
The basal boundary of this unit is at the same time the base of the cut of the whole pit. The basal boundary is clearly distinctive and there are some white inclusions visible in it. The basal boundary is slightly concave (in N and S edges - 1017,03 and in the middle and in W edge 1017,02) with white inclusions.
The other part of a large pit (feature 1175) was also excavated in previous seasons (within the main trench). In this level of the pit (the 1st one) it was unit 6992.
