Tertiary filling of the grave (out of use)

The context 609 corresponds to a fine layer of soil partially covering the stones of the grave cover, on the eastern part of the grave. We assume that it is the last preserved layer of the burial, corresponding to the abandonment of the burial. This layer muse have been slightly disturbed by modern ploughing and excavator.  It may explained the coumpond bedding of this layer made of clayey silt with occasional whitish limestone gravel and occasional small stones inclusions. A few animal bone have been retrieved and they could possibly belong to the deposits c608 and c617. One notice that a stone bead (609 #5) has been found near the north-eastern limit of the grave.
