Interpretation
The context 608 corresponds to the lens of discret burnt and unburnt bones (animal bones ?) found upon one of the stone of the burial cover (c614) in the southern part of the grave. We assume that it is the result of a deliberate secondary deposit related to some commemorative action. No trace of burning were found. Nonetheless, the preservation was bad due to the location on the surface of the structure. Moreover, bone analysis would give more information about the composition of this deposit.
