Definition 2006-09-03 sC fill [Input: Q903SC2.j]
Description (summary) 2006-09-03 sC This is the fill of pit f85. However, it is important to clarify that f86 is related only with the fill of the pit in the N and E baulk of k84. This pit, in fact, was noticed only when we were scraping the top surface of the N and E baulks of k84, since, while digging f72 we noticed a concentration of animal bones in the NE portion of the locus, and thus, we thought to check the baulks in order to look for a possible pit cut. By scraping the top surfaces of the N and E baulk we then found the cut of the pit, as visible in v55. Within the fill of the pit several animal bones have been found, among which a complete skeleton of a saluki dog (i5, f96) and frog bones (i5, f96). v60 shows the bottom of the pit in the E baulk, after we removed the saluki dog skeleton (i5, f96).

Recovery/Assignment

Notes on recovery 2006-09-03 sC In light of the fact that we did not found the pit while digging within k84, f72 includes part of the fill of pit f85. The pit is aproximately 40cm deep (in its deepest point). [Input: Q903SC2.j]
