Unit 32137
Category: Layer dug in 2017
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: fire pit fill
Data Category Information: Description: fire spots (non-structured); Deposition: heterogeneous
Discussion: Fill of a fire pit located below and slightly to the east of a later pit (32133.S5). Very similar to 32133.S5 in terms of content, color, and consistency. Priority feedback confirmed this as well. The faunal assemblage mostly belonged to 1 animal (sheep/goat) and was 100% burned, indicating post-consumption trash burning. The chipped stone assemblage was again dominated by Gollu Dag obsidian and was relatively low density.
