Description :   UE324. Colamation fill caused by the temporary abandonment of the lower part of pit UE277, in tomb T7. It served as a foundation for burial pit UE325. It is a massive deposit made up of dark grey argillaceous earth mixed with dispersed blocks of brown sediment. It is a compact fill, fine-grained, with a plastic and unctuous texture. It differs very clearly from all the units with which it maintains direct physical contact, making its stratigraphic fidelity very high. It occupied the entire surface of the interior of pit 277, adhering to the walls of the pit along its entire perimeter. It cou...

Description :   UE326. Fill on the bottom of burial pit UE325, in tomb T7. It was composed of very dark grayish-brown earth with reddish and blackish shades, generated by the natural presence of iron oxides and by the very high proportion of decomposed organic matter contained in the sediment, in which the presence of medium grain sands is also observed. It had a compact texture and a high degree of plasticity, which was manifested in its high capacity to retain phreatic water. It included some nodules of greyish clay, several small pebbles in their natural state, and scattered nodules of charcoal, in some of...

Description :   UE327. Colmatation sediment as a result of abandonment, located at the bottom of pit UE277, in tomb T7. It rested on the bed of the main pit (UE277). It was composed of yellowish clayey soil with reddish hues, with a compact, plastic, medium grain texture. It was also dotted with a multitude of small black spots of iron oxide of geological origin. It has provided very few archaeological remains: some scattered ceramic fragments, three small gold beads, seven fragments of human bone, one perforated human tooth, one shark tooth, and nine perforated dog teeth. Its surface, appreciably horizontal...
