Unit 11734

Category: Layer    dug in 2005

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: pit infill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 0.70 x 1.50 x 0,44 

Discussion: It is another level on an infill of a pit in southern part of an extension. The previus part was excavated as unit 11703, which was finished arbitrary. The infill was cut by an animal bourrowing. It was so big that it was recorded as unit 11701 - cuting the infill 11734 (as well as above one - 11703) into two parts.
The bottom part of an infill was divided into several smaller parts (cuts) - possibly 6. It is possible that some big jaws or pitoses were placed there, and this shape of a basal boundary was suppsed to secure their upright possision.
The cut of pit was recorded as unit 11741.
At the basal boundarry (between two western deeper parts) a Neolithic burial was exposed. It was cut from both north and south sides by cuts 11741. Thew burial was excavated as unit 11762. There has been also another burial (11720 - skeleton, 11768 - infill) on the southern side of the large pit, which wasa also slightly cut by cut 11741 (and infill 11739).

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.
