MISSING |
The sandy soil f236 was first removed along with the vertical bricks, which revealed large fragments of a ceramic vessel i71. We proceeded to remove the soil from the north portion since the depression was located immediately to the south of the already excavated k109 and only 5 cm needed to be removed facilitating the excavation of the burial. In the east section, a clear pit cut was seen with loose brown fill f236 and large pieces of bricks but it were uncertain whether it extended further south. The southern area was cleaned in order to find the extent of the burial and bricky material was found with a linear fissure running north to south. A small portion of this was excavated to see if this belonged with the burial. This area did not appear to be associated with the pit and we concentrated our efforts into excavating the jar burial, which we made into an aggregate, a15. The soil around the burial jar i71 was cleaned using a brush and dental pick, which exposed the large vessel resting on its side with the top portion cracked and broken. [Input: L831LR.j] |
