Unit 4826
Category: layer dug in 1999
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: burning layer
Data Category Information: Description: fire spots (non-structured); Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit
Dimensions: 2.6m+ w-e, 1.3m+ n-s, 2 to 8mm thick
Discussion: Some form of in-situ burning event, most intense at east end gradually petering out to west. Possibly deliberate burning of material in external area. Appears to mark quite a distinct transition between material above and below, could be linked to burial F.525.
