Description

Top Soil

Interpretation

C600 corresponds to the top soil of the entire trench down to preserved in situ remains found at 40 cm to 60 cm depth. It was excavated from south to north using a 50 cm-wide toothed bucket, which left some scars on the surface.

The uppermost 20 cm consist of very loose topsoil made up of light brown clayish silt with small stones, disturbed by agricultural activities, plant roots, and animal burrows. This layer lies above the two burials F1 (skeleton C603) and F2 (skeleton C623), the enclosure C601, the adjacent layers C605, C604, and C620, as well as the stone deposit at 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.]
