Unit 15139
Category: Layer dug in 2010
Area: Trench 5
Interpretive Categories: room fill
Data Category Information: none
Dimensions: 2,22m EW - 2.18m NS - 0.2m deep
Discussion: Roomfill in space 341. The soil abutting the buttress F.5057 is very loose and crumbly, it is maybe an animal burrow? In front and under buttress F.5054 there is a very black-blueish rectangular spot, with lumps of charcoal. maybe this is a second phase of the buttress. A similar situation occured at wall F-5056, see unit 15152. These phases would be older. In the NE corner there is a structure of darker soil, surrounded by a yellow line of clay. It looks like a fallen mudbrick into the room fill. The border of the unit in the NE corner as defined arbitrarily, because we did not see the border between buttress F.5054 and F.5057, and we wanted to meet the level in Space 340.
