Unit 15234

Category: Layer    dug in 2007

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: midden 

Data Category Information: Deposition: finely bedded

Dimensions: 2,00 x 1,00 x 0.15 

Discussion: This is a large midden layer in central part of Northern section of the trench. From the west it was truncated by Mellaart in the 60-s and its heights can be clearly visible in theE section. Its basal boundary was definded arbitrary in the western part. A thick midden as seenin the section divided up into two parts. However, its eastern part is getting shalower and is placed on elements of the floor recorded as unit 13532. Hence, its eastern basal boundary is clearly constructional.
