Unit 2216
Category: layer dug in 1997
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: building fill
Data Category Information: none
Dimensions: 1.50 x 1.0m
Discussion: The sketch shows 2x2m square - only part of which was my unit. The pit was cut into the building fill which comprises the rest of the square. The unit was dug down to an arbitrary harder surface of building fill. the fill consists of clay & brick chunks - some bone and a small amount of charcoal.
It seems that the edge of the pit has been reached in some areas but it continues to the west into unit 2224.

Most body zones are represented, but toes are evident only in the form of a single sesamoid.
