Discussion: It is an infill of a burial pit situated in S edge of an extension - partly in the section so a kind of a niche was formed. The burial was first noticed thanks to a grave marker (unit 8917) built of mudbricks placed diagonally one on another and situated within a bigger pit (cut 10908, feature 1174).
The cut of the infill 10936 is unit 10938 and a skeleton of an individual buried within this pit is 10937.
The basal boundary of the unit was sloping in E direction therefore the lowest varies from 1016.79 to 1016.92.
