Unit 21772

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: burial fill 

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

Discussion: This unit consisted of a compact light brown/greyish massive grave fill. The deposit represented the fill to cut U.21773 and associated with burial F.7406 from the central platform F.3440 of Building 80.
The fill and cut were very easy to separate from the surrounding white plaster layer of the main platform (U.21774).
It means that the real spatial extent of this unit had not be determined exclusively through the observed extent of the buried body.
This unit was sealed by thick layer of white plaster primarily covering all surface of central platform (U.21765).
The fill is sitting directly on top of skeleton U.21778, juvenile.
