Interpretive Categories: burial pit infill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: burial; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit

Dimensions: 0.74 x 0.32 x 0,32 

Discussion: It is an infill of a burial pit in N part on an extension which was also visible in W section of the main trench because the first part of the burial was excavated in season 2001 as feature 955 within the main trench (infill 7010; 7311).
The burial was marked by grave marker built of diagonally placed mudbricks. Above infill 10948 there were found 3 of them registered as unit 10945 with was placed partly above the grave cut (unit 10950) and partly on the unit 10947.
In the basal boundary of the infill mudbricks were noticed so the basal boundary is defined as constructional.
The burial pit was forming a kind of a niche of S side.
