Unit 11762

Category: Layer    dug in 2005

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: burial infill 

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

Discussion: This is an infill of a Neolithic burial in southern part of extension. The skeleton within this burial was recorded as unit 11739, but no cut has been notified. The burial was cut from both northern and southern sides by cuts of the same pit of extremaly iregular basal boundary (infill 11734, cut 11741), from the western side by a cut of a large pit 11719 (infill).
At first, human bones within this infill were excavated as ´x finds´ but when it became obvious that these are remains of one individual (but possibly with an additional leg), these remains were recorded as a skeleton - unit 11739. There has been a feet belonging to unit 11738 but placed not within infill 11762 but within infill 11767 which was placed over burial infill itself and to the south. It is not certain wheather it was also a part of a burial infill.
The basal boundary of the unit was cancave and ranged from 1016.76 to 1016.83 (in its eastern edge), therefore the heights differed from 0.10 m (centre) to 0.03 m (eastern edge).

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.
