Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: burial; Deposition: homogeneous
Dimensions: c. 0.64 m x 0.40 m x 0.13 m deep
Discussion: The excavation of this deposit was dictated by the definition of skeleton 2842 which was identified at the end of the 1997 season but not excavated because of the lack of time. The interpretation as fill and as by arbitrary because no cut was found and therefore the deposit extent was purely dictated by the skeleton remains. In essence the "fill" was very similar to the surrounding deposit.
The "fill" must have been present because of the very nature of the burial event but its definition was totally arbitrary.
Recognition: Human bone poking through, no soil change.
Definition: Articulated human bone - not by any visible soil change.
