Discussion: Burial infill cut into NE platform F. 7820 in E part of sp.551. This unit was recognized by cut into platform and texture. When we removed the fill, we think that this deposit related with post retrieval pit but when we started to remove room infill of B.161, we exposed some human bones inside of this pit.
