There are no particular signs of any type of construction related to the grave; it seems to have been simply dug into the ground and its base f95 was levelled. The grave was found in poor condition and the human bones were found mixed in f83 within the boundaries of f84. we only noticed that most of the skull bones were located at the NW end of the grave, next to i14 and i18: the sizes of the grave and of the bones suggest that it was a child burial.

1999-06-30 ab skeleton deposition on the ground without any specific construction. The animal skeleton and several metal objects (i20, i21, i22, i23, i24, q73.1) are laid together. Associated with these bronze offerings there is also a small, cylindrical, carneol bead, but there is no pottery. All bones (q73 b) are in one bag; we found some large fragments, but are mostly broken into small pieces. [Input: J803AB.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on recovery 1999-06-30 ab we took no pictures and did no drawings of the burial because the bones and artifacts come out step by step. The metal artifacts, which are particularly rich and well preserved, laid mostly under the bones. The burial wasn't clearly defined and was very small (different than the animal deposition in A7 MZ10, where the complete skeleton was "carefully" laid down on the ground). [Input: J803AB.j]

Notes on typology 1999-06-30 ab Prof. Castelletti J731 did a general analysis about the bones and observed that the bones belong to an old cow, whose teeth were almost completely used. Not all the cow's bones are present. Apparently only some parts of the body's bones were selected (head, lower part of two legs). He couldn't say if this should be associated with some sort of ritual. [Input: J803AB.j]

Daily notes about recovery of elements 1999-07-04 ab as we dug the rest of accumulation f40 we found that it is also contained by a circular line of bricks at the S part, as it was the case in the W and N parts. That confirms that it is the filling of the pit, therefore we assigned a feature number for the cut and several feature's numbers equal to f40. [Input: J718AB.j]
1999-07-08 ab f141 is the best accumulation removal from inside the pit a11, below the accumulation the floor of the part is found by the remaining bricks of the wall and the stone foundation f151. [Input: J718AB.j]
Strategy (projected or implemented) 1999-07-03 ab since we dug the whole N portion of the filling of a12 (in k5) as f40, we are going to dig the S portion (in k10) by dividing the filling accumulation into number of features, separating them by elevation, since there is no distinct difference in the type of accumulation.

1999-06-30 ab deposition in the ground. Almost triangular shaped grave. A large jar with rope decoration (i23),laid on the ground, is broken in many pieces but seems to be complete. Inside it there was only dirt, no bones as usually one would expect. Near its rim there were a small, double rim necked jar (q148.3) and a bit higher a broken, incised jar (q148.1). South of the rim of the big jar there was an other broken jar (q143.2), the sherds of which were large and piled in four layers. On top of them laid the skull and many small bones all grouped together. Very unusual deposition. No other offerings seem to be associated with it. [Input: J803AB.j]

Evidence 1999-07-13 gb One argument against considering these as regular steps or terracing stages is that they are very distinct in nature (one is bricks, the other is stones). [Input: J718OKK.j]

Daily notes about recovery of elements 1999-07-22 lr fan-xi & Carol are sick- I am working with gB continuing digging k16, k18, k19 & resumed k17. [Input: ZG617em.j]
Strategy (projected or implemented) 1999-07-22 gb It appears that we have a definite U-shaped gateway, filled with gully wash. We will leave a section moving EW along it's axis (which seems perfectly alined with the cardinal points), and we will expose the two passageways (E&W), trying to reach a floor level at the bottom. If it reaches the level of the base of the perimetral wall of AK, it would be standing up to almost four meters! We should be on the look out for steps (&door sockets?) [Input: ZG617em.j]
1999-07-22 gb We will move the current section to the West so as to have it run through the center of the U. [Input: ZG617em.j]

Deposition

Roster Date Author Record
Definition of process(es) 2000-07-04 gb Several possible processes are contemplated (see note H2 for description of characteristics that have led us to these possibilities). (1) The fissure reflects a lower structure, which caused settling. It is not clear then why the section does not allow a clear connection of layers on either side of the fissure. (2) A rodent may have opened a way through pre-existing deposition, but this would be possible only for part of what we observe, in particular the soft brown fill at elevation matching q397. (3) There may have been a wooden structure (or wood and matting) that disintegrated (e.g., a curtain wall). But there is no impression along the face of the fissure, nor is there any obvious remanent (though this may have fallen at the bottom). [Input: K705JL.j]
Evidence 2000-07-04 gb The fissure 321 has two clear faces and very soft dirt, the type found as a secondary fill (e.g., from rodent activity). One face shows scalloping in at least one place. The excavated portion of f303 in section shows a clear upper portion of the same element that corresponds to f321, but it slopes inward and it leans a smooth face on the convex face. Also, tho color appears to be different. Note that the fissure continues all around a33, along the face of the stones. We noted this from the beginning, but it is becoming more and more marked.
