Description

Top Soil

Interpretation

C600 corresponds to the top soil of the whole trench down to preserved in situ remains found at 40 cm to 60 cm depth. It was dug from south to north, with an excavator fitted with a toothed bucket of 50 cm width, which led some scars on the surface.

The first 20 cm correspond to very loose top soil of light brown clayish silt, with small stones, disturbed by agricultural activities, plant roots, and animal burrows. This layer is above the two burials F1 (c606, c603) and F2 (c602, c609=c610, c614, c618), the enclosure c601, the nearby layers c605, c604, c620 and the stones deposit in the southern limit of the trench (c611, c615).

[Previous notes on paper recordings :At the south limit of the trench. it supposed to be the inside area of trench set C604 and the redish brown area which is apart from south limit consider to be the ditch set C601 but it seems like a wall after excavated. And there is a skeleton at the 10m far from south wall, which set C603(F1) The machine clean from north to south.]

Notes or comments

Some possible human bones have been retrieved coming from the disturbed burial F1. Amoung the lithic finds, we should notice the presence of possible grindstone, a flint and a piece of quartz.
