Unit 15226
Category: Layer dug in 2007
Area: TP
Interpretive Categories: infill layer
Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous
Dimensions: 3.00 x 2.00 x 0.15 m
Discussion: This is an infill layer in sequence of Building 72 recorded as space 324. Character and content of this space implies that it may have had a similar chcracter as its western part (space 323), where a solid floor was discovered. A similar floor is expacted to be found in space 324. Space was filled in with the rubbish layer after the building's abandonment. A similar deposit was also recorded in the doorway that was cut off in southern wall of the space which two parts were recorded as units 13578 and 13581. The northern wall was badly destroyed for yet unspecified purpose. This was probably associated with use of this space in the late phase of its occupation. The infill consisted of many constructional elements includeng fragments of bricks, a plaster. It contained also fragments of destroyed floor, but not as many as adjacent infill in space 323 [u. 15224]. The exploration was finished arbitrarly as the consistency, texture and bedding of the unit did not change.
