Unit 20097

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: first burial fill in cut from platform F.3441 

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

Discussion: This unit is a grave fill for sk.21700 in NE platform (F.3441) of building 80. We distinguished two separate and superimposed indeed fills for this grave (compare discussion part from U.21703).
This fill was sealed by compound layer of another - earlier fill layer (U.21703), We separate these layers because they differ in terms of colour, consistency of soil and mainly contained amount of inclusions (compare with U.21703).
This layer seems to be much more homogeneous than its predecessor. The consistency of soil of this layer is more compact and on the contrary to U.21703 consists very little inclusions.
This grave fill layer consisted loose human bones possibly proceeded from sk.21700.
