After the removal of the first 10 cm the surface of 1:2
was revealed. The large sandstone disc
was removed to reveal the surface of 1:2 and 10 cm
of soil removed from the rest of the unit to this level
(c. 1064.12 m asl). A concentration of sandstone
chips found in 1:1 continued on the surface of 1:2 and
was labeled Feature 1. The chips were found also in
the extension 1B and formed a kind of a ‘pavement’
similar to the featuers identified by Sayavongkhamdy
(n.d.), to the north of jar 01020061. The ‘paving’ of
sandstone chips ran 65 cm E-W and was 38 cm wide.
Other, larger chips of sandstone were noted in Unit 1
closer to the north baulk and labeled Feature 2. These
did not form a pavement as those in Feature 1 did.
The removal of the large sandstone disc revealed
aligned limestone blocks abutting jar 01020061.
Resting atop these blocks were human long bones and some associated artefacts including a ceramic ear plug
(cat. 10), two whetstone fragments (cat.s 11 and 18), ceramic
sherds (cat. 20) and an agate bead (cat. 21). This
feature was labelled as Burial 2. (the burial numbers
are out of sequence stratigraphically due to the sequence
of excavation). The human remains including
adult teeth were found at c. 1064.14 m asl.
In the extension 1A a spindle whorl (cat.
33) was found on the surface of 1:2 adjacent
to the large siliceous quartz breccia boulder
that occupied most of the extension unit.
The soil was uniform across the unit
and reddish brown in color (5YR 5/3).
