Layer 2:1

After the removal of the disc from the unit an area of dark reddish brown (2.5YR 2.5/3) soil was discovered differing from the surrounding matrix which was reddish brown (2.5YR 4/4). In the middle of the feature, which was labelled 2:1 Feature 2, was a limestone block and on the southern edge were c. 60 ceramic fragments, some with incised decorations (cat. 305). 2:1 Feature 2, upon excavation, revealed a human tooth and a tooth fragment and small piece of bone. The feature was duly labelled as Burial 4. The teeth were found to sit atop the ceramic ves- sel (cat. 329). Human teeth were also found beneath the limestone block to the west of the feature. Flecks of charcoal were noted within the burial.
