Unit 2118

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: grave fill 

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

Dimensions: 0.30 m l.x 0.30 m w x 0.03m d. 

Discussion: This was the deposit that lay around and below skeleton 2105. it's very difficult to differentiate from [1982], However, the division is somewhat arbitrary. Indeed, beads associated with skeleton 2105 were recovered from the flotation of [1982]. This lower deposit was a tad darker than [1982] however, perhaps due to the material it was cutting through. it probably represents deliberate grave fill as it = very mixed.

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
