Unit 40004

Category: Layer    dug in 2018

Area: East 

Interpretive Categories: topsoil 

Data Category Information: Description: cleaning

Discussion: This is a layer of topsoil located in the easternmost part of the scraping of the East Area. It was removed with shovels. The exploration of the unit was divided into three parts, in order to identify a ditch that runs from N to S (a possible field boundary according to authors of the geophysical survey conducted in 2012). However, not enough soil was removed and it was not possible to identify the borders/ possible cut for the ditch yet. The layer was very shallow, the rest of the topsoil will be removed under different unit number.
