Unit 30750
Category: Layer dug in 2013
Area: TPC
Interpretive Categories: pit infill
Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit; Deposition: heterogeneous
Discussion: Infill of the neolithic pit (F.7168) in NE part of B.110, sp.486.
It was burnt with some orange spots of the top, possibly coming from U. 30716. The pit was small. A very few inclusions was found (just a few bones and fragments of pottery). It was also quite shallow, even if it was about 5 cm deeper than is marked on the Unit sheet (the top of the infill was removed during exploration of U.30716).
At the beginning it was thought that the pit could be just a burnt patch (there were quite much charcoal on the top) or a posthole. Hovewer, as the cut and base are clearly defined and the pit is too shallow to be a posthole the function of the pit is unclear.
Inside the pit were quite many phytoliths and charcoal. The latter were mostly found near the base in E and SE part of the pit, just above the base, there was a thin layer of charcoal.
