| Description: | The soil color is light brown. The soil compaction is loose. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand. Structure materials: Tile (terracotta, stone). Material size: 0.30x0.24x0.03 (flat tiles); 0.18x0.16x0.025 (curved tiles). Material bonding: none; plaster. | |
| Notes: | A tile coffin; some stones (cobbles) have fallen through - in the middle is one particularly large. While removing vertical tiles very few pottery shards and a single glass shard were found. In the west half tiles were mostly just laid next to each other, while in the east half a lot of plaster appeared, even preserved between two tiles. Nearly all tiles are terracotta, one on the SW side is of stone - one side is hewn, polished; the other side is rough. On three edges it is rough, on the fourth are signs of smoothening, but it is chipped nonetheless. Probably ot was taken from an older structure and re-used here. The tiles formed the grave in two circles: in the outer circle they were more curved, while in the inner circle the tiles were mostly flat or just with a slight curve. Excavated by A. Lorenzova. 02/06/2015 (L Kennedy): Animal bones: sheep/goat, 0.06 kg, all thrown. | |
