Unit 8147

Category: layer    dug in 2001

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: burial fill 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 1.5 m N-S X 1m E-W 

Discussion: Infill of this multiple burial is quite similar in all levels.But since the skeletons were put in a different times, we decided to separate the soil around each individual skeleton. This was impossible for the scattered individual (8113) but unit 8147 was designated for the soil immediately around and below skeleton 8114. 8136 is the unit number for the soil around and below skeleton 8115.
