Unit 15195

Category: Layer    dug in 2010

Area: Trench 5 

Interpretive Categories: fill in pit 

Dimensions: EW 2,4m - NS 1,5m - depth not excavated 

Discussion: 15195 was not finished due to time this season, but the layer contained at least one adult individual (15192, skull within 15199 disturbed bone cluster). The layer is very mixed, and many human bones and other, early (Chalcolithic) artefacts were in the layer with later material such as x1 and x2 = tile, that were probably originally used in the disturbed burial/ skeleton here witht he large rock in 15179. We will find out later how deep this layer deposit goes, and if more disturbed human bones come to light. This layer is in pit F.3331.

NOTED THAT TOTAL STATION POINTS TAKEN ON 18.8. ARE INCORRECT - THIS CONCERNS LEVELS FOR THIS UNIT - WILL BE FIXED LATER, INSCHA'ALLAH.
