Unit 11966

Category: Layer    dug in 2005

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: grave fill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: burial; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: Rad = 8 cm 

Discussion: The fill is under the feature 2033, apparently earlier than the bin (feat 2033). Although the burial is not very young, the cut, so that the fill is so small when compared to the other burials of the area in 2005 season.

At first it was taught that the fill was related with the fill of bin, with the clue of the non-existing (cut) bottom of the bin (unit 11947). Thus, in order to see the extent of the cut, the bin is removed and it is understood that the real fill was much more local than expected.

The corresponding skeleton of the fill (unit 11975) was having a few bones in the upper fill (of the bin).
