| | Area: North | | | | Dug in Year: 1999 | | Feature Type: central "room" | | | | Location: center of building 3 | | | | Grid X: 1055.01 Grid Y: 1186.93 | | | Revealed by lifting roof and fill in space 86 in 199. Defined as central area surrounded by platforms on north and east (features 170, 173 and 162), white bench and north edge of the platform (feature 169) which defines the oven area in southern part of building 3. On north side this feature is defined by the screen wall.
The feature comprises many superimposed floors with little or no packing in between. Therefore we excavated them as group, arbitrarily 5 floors at a time, i. e. 2-3 cm a layer.
A number of shallow pits were dug into these floors at various levels. Most were clearly filled with burned material (features 615, 616, 619, 620), others filed with dark soil with less burned material (features 618, 621, 641).
Excavation of floors 1-5 was completed in 1999, except for the bulks that were photoed and drawn in 2000 and excavated. Floors 5-10 were excavated in the north part in 1999 and completed in 2000.
