Unit 4598

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: fill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: burial; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: Slightly compacted light brown to greyish coloured soil contained plaster aggregates, (<3cm and <5%) and some charcoal remains with small sized pebbles. Dimensions of this fill 50cm by 53cm by 4cm. This soil was situated underneath the basket which contained the skeleton. Around the basket this fill was more thicker and wider which suggest that this result of backfill activity of the burial bottom of the fill is uneven, which is cut, and that caused partly misshaping the basket beside the baby's weight and size.
