Discussion: fill of grave cut 10211. Byzantine (or anyway , later than neolithic). Juvenile skeleton (10207) relatively well preserved .
The body was burried in a wooden coffin. Thr timber was preserved on the western edge of the grave. We sampled it with a label as part of the fill 10204. Did the same with coffin nails. We didn't x find any of them. The timber and the nails were in a poor condition to be worth giving different unit number or even to make a cluster out of them.

The fill 10204 was not identified in plan so excavation started from the skeleton and the fill removed. The difference between it and the units around (sectioned by the cut) was much clearer than in plan.
