Layer of fill in tomb 51. This level of fill was rich with ceramic and bronze grave goods. The soil sampling strategy was inconsistent. The first 70 buckets were recorded, sieved and sampled, but the remainder (unknown quantity) were not recorded. Special samples were taken from the soil around the body and grave goods.
