This item was discovered while clearing f299 pit. The item lies a few centimeters below the end of the pit. The body of the ceramic vessel was noticed first and part of the neck exposed. The jar rests at an angle (rim facing east) and appears slightly compressed with an egg shape. We will leave this jar in place until we come down on it from the top. [Input: -MX12-99.j] |

We first removed i122 and i139 since we did not want to leave the ceramic vessels exposed over night. At the lab I removed the soil inside and made them into samples i146 and i147. The jar i122 was filled with soil containing some bone fragments but i139 only contained a dirt coating at the top and when removed exposed it hollow. gB suggested that it may have been filled with liquid which evaporated leaving only a coating of soil at the very top.
