Description

Cut of the burial pit

Interpretation

The cut c607 corresponds to the pit of the single burial F2. Cut into the layer c605, it is filled with c635 (a thin layer found under the skeletal resulted from the decomposition of the body and possibly organic material), the stones elements c637, the skeleton c623, the burial fill (c619), and some elements of the stone cover (c614, c618, c626). In plan the cut has an oval shape, measuring 1,35 m in length and 1,20 in width, oriented west-east, similar to the neaby burial F1. It is a shallow pit (0.27 m in depth), with stepped sides on the western and eastern ends, and more vertical walls on the south-western and northern side. The uneven base of the cut is characterized by a gentle slope to the northeast. Its irregularity is due to bioturbations (especially animal burrows), and the nature of the embedding layer (c605), interpreted as a fill containing mixed material (soil, clay building material, pottery, and limestone gravel inclusions).
