Description

Deposit around wall c907

Interpretation

c943 started in order to unify the eastern section which included c914 and c942 as we realised they are all the same and there was no substantial difference between them. The soil is loose brown and dark brown with sandy-clayish texture, a few limestone and clay-ish inclusions. It was significantly disturbed by animals. Lots of pottery from Late Neolithic II, in different sizes and uses (transport, drinking, storing), a few bones and shells.
