Unit 7845

Category: layer    dug in 2003

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: burial fill 

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

Dimensions: 3,6 x 1,24 x 0,25 

Discussion: This is a pit situated next to the S limit of excavation in the trench extension. During excavation it has changed its shape a little bit - from NE-SW to almost E-W - see plan 03/137. It contained a big amount of pottery and bones among which some human bones has been distinguished (fot example fragments of skull). Both- the top and the base of the unit are characterized by a big slope - towards W.
The exploration of the unit has been finished because a slope of another smaller pit has been noticed in its southern part which was darker. This smaller pit has been defined as unit 7873.
