Statistics

In A16 there is a total of 699 observed contacts between any two features. One will find the complete list in the depositional synopsis. They are subdivided as follows (listed in the order of the depositional verbs):

	verb	total	percent
1a	cuts	98	14%
1b	intrudes	2	0.3%
2a	leans against	0	-
2b	rests on	21	3%
3a	abuts	166	24%
3b	bonds	14	2%
4a	covers	328	47%
4b	overlays	34	5%
5a	caps	0	-
5b	sits in	36	5%

The lion’s share is with the two verbs “to cover” (almost half of the occurrences) and “to abut” (almost one quarter), followed by “to cut” (almost 15%). There is also no “leaning against” (which is, in fact, hardly possible for a feature), nor any “capping.”

1. To cut and intrude

The relatively high incidence of these depositional processes depends on the large number of pits (27) and their frequent depth, which meant cutting through a thick series of layers.

2. To lean against and rest on
