Unit 12294

Category: Layer    dug in 2006

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: floor 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: occupation; Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Dimensions: 4,40 x 3,40 x 0,03 

Discussion: This is a floor situated in E part of Building 61. It was placed directly underneath later flloor (unit 12244) of this Building as well as wall (unit 11792) in its most eastern part.
The floor is sloping to the E and this is due yet unspecified postdepositional processes after abandonment of this structure.
The floor apears to be conspiciously clear as indicated by a very small number of objects on its surface. In some places it was destroyed by rodents. An entre surface has not been preserved intact as it was truncated by later pits (units 12293 - infil, 12292 - cut) and Byzantine burial (unit 11589).
