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

Discussion: This is an infill of a pit (F.7158) which contained a dog burial (skel.30715). The soil was soft, dark brown with some black spots. There were clay, lime and phytoliths inclusions. Close to the dog bones there was also salt. The skeleton was incomplete and during the exploration it turned out that the burial was disturbed. Leg bones appeared near the pit F.3969, placed directly above, in which we found a dog burial.
