Unit 20456
Category: Layer dug in 2012
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: eroded neolithic infill,Surface material
Data Category Information: Description: unstratified
Dimensions: 7,00 x 5,80 x 0,30
Discussion: Initially excavated as a possible late pit cutting into Neolithic deposits but soon after realized that it was simply surface soil mixed with very badly eroded Neolithic material. Two perfect hand axes were found and x finded due to their preservation. One later (post-neolithic) burial was identified after excavation of this unit, more or less right in the middle of the unit.
Recognition: first recognized as later pit but then realized to be surface material
