Interpretation

C944 started as a possible extension of C905. Its about a possible structure. When clearing and defining its limits we discovered compact CBM. It was disturbed by animals. The soil was essentially the same as 943 but 944 contains more CBM. Also limestone inclusions, large sherds, burnt sherds, a few burnt bones, some CBM with organic print and a few ground stones. After defining it we realised that there was no stucutre.
