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

Discussion: Just about 7 cm below the deposit (which contains aggregates of plaster). I have started to find aggregates of mud brick within same type of deposit. Later on this deposit become more compact, dark and harder than the above deposits.
Along the wall side many bones has been exposed -they apparently-placed just along the above deposits.
From this unit four obsidian have been found. A the end of this deposit I think I will reach to the floor. But for the moment (14/8/96) I am leaving to dig deeper. I will start the other part of the pit.
