Animal bones: too fragmentary for identification (0.07 kg, all thrown).
LN PJK 26/6/15: The excavation of 863 followed immediately that of 861, which was our first large pass in Room 6. In trying to determine the limits of that surface, and of this possible context, Thanassis did some cleaning of the scarp and around walls 11 and 59. The pottery collected in this context thus includes mixed material. As a result, we have excluded it from our harris matrix and consider it as a cleaning context.
