Unit 1971

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Fill of cut,Grave fill 

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

Dimensions: 59x12x10cm (deep) & 36 x 6 cm 

Discussion: Very small remains of what was presumably the fills of grave cut. A couple of tiny bone fragments seen, but no sign of burial. This is on the edge of a cut containing Burial29, which consists of a number of skeletons & fragments of skeletons some exc. in 1996,( Unit [1963] exc. this year. Presumably this cut belonged to one of them at the same time but it has almost all cut away by a later grave cuts & the bones redeposited. I understand that few cuts were here in1996, excavation just continued within one well defined cut although the skeletons may well have belonged to the cuts now barely visible if at all.
A small scrap to NE on edge of cut for burial 29 has added to this- probably a remnant of the same cut though' not actually joined.
