Dimensions: 3,00 (EW) x 1,80 (NS) x 0,21 m deep 

 

Discussion: It is a surface and infill layer. On the surface we can see a lot of faunal bone clusters. We decided to dig an arbitrary layer, because the infill is really high and is difficult to distinguish the basal boundary. The layer that we dug is around 20 cm high, wich was loose, brown, processed and filled with inclusions of charcoal, plaster, CaCo2, carbonate, bricks.
We collected 9 clusters of animal bones (x finds 1-9); several of the bone clusters were located in the central/south part of the unit. In this part of the unit, under the aurach bones and the rib and vertebra we exposed the next unit (u. 20403), which is a burned unit.
