Unit 8286

Category: layer    dug in 2001

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: burial fill 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 1 X 1( minus burial) 

Discussion: Unit began as a small 35cm X 40cm unit over the leg bones exposed in the eastern wall of the burial cut. When it became clear that the material was packing rather than burial fill, the unit was expanded to include the SE quadrant of the NW platform. The rest of the NW platform was divided into quadrants; each excavated separately. This unit consisted of orange grey mottled packing. There were a a few places where there were compact orangish-brickish packing, but mostly it was heterogeneous layering of orange-grey packing. There was a thin layer of brown-grey soil directly above the thin white-yellow floor which comprised the basal boundary of this unit. The floor itself was very thin and has a mottled appearance due to the thinnest of the layer. There were a few inclusions of charcoal or other material in the packing.
