Unit 15282

Category: Layer    dug in 2007

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: midden 

Data Category Information: Location: in abandoned building; Deposition: coarsely bedded (dumps)

Dimensions: 1.80x2.00x0.20 

Discussion: This is a second layer of arbitrarly divided midden in the western part of B73.From the W it was badly truncated by later pit. Its eastern boundary was defined by some kind of fire installation probably oven as indicated by fr of the superstructure. In the S part of the unit a concentration of fr of mudbricks was discovered. In the n part also big fr of bricks were found. This implies that the midden has been acumulating over time on cluster of rubble made of various constructional elements such as fragments of bricks, mortar and plaster. In adition to pottery, bones and obsidian one stamp seal, spindle whorl and a cluster of pottery was found.
