Discussion: Room fill truncated byMellaart left in SE corner of room as he followed wall and left this area in situ. Some mudbrick and plaster collapse by wall
This is now apparently the fill in a cut in the corner of the room => Possibly a post retrieval pit. Contains a lot of bone including human. Skeleton 18635 is a group of articulated human bone with the fill around 18634 arbitary as the fill around the bones excavated when the group was thought to be part of a burial. It now seems that material dumped in to the cut contained bits of human bone, some articulated, others not. |
