Dimensions: 0.29m thick x 1.8 NS x 1.3m EW 

Discussion: this layer may be a continuation of 11295 from last year, the quantity and nature of the finds has from thos stratagraphically above it. It is packed full of bone, some of which is articulated, the soil is very mixed, including mudbrick and some plaster surfaces that are very cracked up.
