GSC; Grave fill.
Backfilled grave fill containing disarticulated bone of both juvenille and adult individuals. Initially thought to be grave fill relating to earlier E-W grave F1515, but after excavation this was proved not to be the case. Unit represents the bulk redeposited fill of disturbed grave, with fragments of adult vertebrae from skeleton (10499) in cut below, as well as scattered and disarticulated juvenille seemingly redeposited back into its original grave cut?? (see 10476 for discussion).
Fill also contained x2, a highly important Mother Goddess figurine. As this fill was thought to be a grave fill, thought to be highly unusual. However, now known to be associated with a very mixed deposit, so no longer in situ.

Figurine x2 is envanter 3.
