Unit 21619

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: infill of a pit 

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

Description: posthole / pit was recorded within room-fill 22080 of B.132 in its S-part 

Discussion: The infill (U.21619) of a pit (F.7623) was easy to distinguish from the surroundings (U.22080) due to the color texture and consistency. The unit appeared to be immense deposit placed within unexpectedly deep cut (U.21620). The infill comprised of evidently burned clay and silty-clay material that came probably from a superstructure of fire installation(s). The lack of any finds might be easy to explain regarding presumable interpretation, that engages the pit with a symbological rite and consequently with a kind of special deposit conducted before erection of new structure (B.77).
