Description (summary) 2001-08-30 fAB square pit associated with the fill of square tomb f206; together these form burial a16. Excavation area A10 excavated the western half of this aggregate. The eastern portion which remains is very difficult to distinguish. From the top we see clear lines marking this tomb but when the pit cut is approached from the inside the soil continues to fall away from the section without giving a clear line to the pit wall. This may suggest that the tomb "bowls" in, with the pit wall remaining farther from the center of the pit than at the top. This effect however could be caused by rain or water seeping into the excavation, and not the pit wall at all. What we are then excavating are these cracks that dislodge the soil, and not the pit fill at all. The fact that bones continue to be found in this area suggests that we are still in the pit fill, so we procede with a careful excavation maintaining this feature number for the cut and f206 for the fill.
