Unit 12429

Category: Layer    dug in 2006

Area: IST 

Interpretive Categories: fill 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: The unit of 12429 is taking more shape as more fill has been removed.The area around the bins seems elevated from the floor,and we still could not find the connection of them with the floor.We have removed some large pieces of kerpiç to be able to see the floor (one is taken as a material sample) but yet not reached.It seems there is a relation with 11863 and 12429,a trashold which is between two spaces is heavily burnt,as well as the slope 12429.Two more stones of the cluster 12400\401 are found as if they were in a bag.The fill over the floor was not removed totally in unit 12429.After the bins emptied and the bench like part(see sketch)is cleared the centre part is scarped and brushed.The floor becomes partly visible but not well preserved due to burned roof has fallen over it.The NW part of the floor,the area between the bench and foor had not shown any clear mark as floor.The fill in this part is removed and burned and cleaned from north to south.Lots of burned bones and some shells came,with no pottery and obsidian.When you go down at SW corner a worked bone is found in addition to some semi-pricious stones and a half bead.
