Unit 15193

Category: Layer    dug in 2010

Area: Trench 5 

Interpretive Categories: Fill around cluster 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: This layer fill was assigned to the soil around the skull 15192 bone cluster arbitrarily when it was still a suspected burial. Later on during careful excavation, the whole area was scattered with human bone most likely from one individual (disturbed late burial). The 2 soil samples were taken near and directly on the base of the skull 15192, most likely two types of red ochre. This fill is within cut 15185 in 15195 and 15179 layers of the pit F 3331.
