  • CH06SR0798
  • Gray brown soil in center of a church
  • The area in front of the apse, central part of the church between the apse and the tombs and between the tombs. 300x155 + 100x200 cm, 12-15 cm deep. A light-grey ashy brown soil. Includes tile, ceramics,human and animal bones, small quantity of charcoal. Several (7) articulated skeletons lay next to each other. Disarticulated remains included larger proportion of small bones, relatively few skulls and long bones; articulated skeletons were cut by the construction of the built tombs, while disarticulated remains could be seen in the same layer beneath the wall of the apse and beneath the altar support. Contained large, articulated fragments of stucco decoration, probably from an Early Byzantine church
  • Plaster was block lifted by conservators over several days
  •  

Interpretation

    • Removing of skeletons and additional burials.
      • AS
    • Use surface and levelling fill of church containing large number of human remains perhaps moved from another burial site (soil shows little signs of reworking)
