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

 

Dimensions: 0,75 m (N-S)* 0,81 m (E-W)* 0,23-0,6m (depth) 

 

Discussion: Defined by the western edge of cut. Exposed very disturbed burials. Two skulls seemed to be related to the cluster of bones, but the mid point of burials has got a later pit. We defined this pit, because also we got some late pottery fragment. Consistency of soil was supposed to be from the late period. Maybe bones were pushed to the sides. After we changed our mind, because we found a hole, which was probbably made by an animal.
