Unit 11931

Category: Layer    dug in 2005

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: burial fill 

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

Dimensions: 25 cm each side 

Description: fill dug into floor(!) 

Discussion: The fill is expected to be having a dog burial since in 2004, in the west side of the unit. (2 m away) a similar unit is found and (an articulated dog burial)
some ribs of dog (fox) found in the fill, but not an articulated form of any skeleton. It might be due to the post depositional activity. (there is an animal burrow cutting the fill diagonally)
While removing the side plasters it is found that the bottom layer was false and the real bottom is obtained after a while following the real ends of the side plasters. In the middle there was a very hard clay.
X1 and X2 are found located to the corners of the cut just above the plaster. There seems to be an non=significant shape of the stones. There was another stone found floating in the fill without a context
