Unit 20846

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

 

Area: South 

 

Interpretive Categories: Burial fill 

 

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

 

Discussion: This unit represents the fill associated with subadult burial f. 7012, one of a sequence of burials in eastern platform f. 3508. It was recognized after the removal of u. 20845 (a plaster layer on top of the platform) as a dark grey, heterogenous semicircle in plan, and the layers of floor in platform f. 3508 were our guide in section for removing this unit, at least for the first 5 cm, at which point the platform seems to be composed of fill. The burial fill was quite compact and furthermore indistinguishable from the fills of surrounding burials in the platform.

Colour: Grey-heterogeneous (some orange spots, white patches) 

Texture: Clay loam 

Bedding: compound 

Inclusions: pieces of charcoal, plaster
