Unit 11970

Category: Cluster    dug in 2005

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Fill of basket 

Data Category Information: Location: floors; Material: phytolith; Deposition: primary deposition; Basal Spit: organic

Discussion: Branches, wood feature. Could have been a basket in which cluster 11965 was placed (sheer longbones, antlers and stones). There were no branches on the floor underneath the bones though, so it could have been just an enclosure made of wattle within which the bones were placed.

We'll call it a basket for now. Some of the lower stones in the feature were collected as part of 11970 rather than x-finds of cluster 11965.
