Unit 17291

Category: Layer    dug in 2012

Area: Trench 5 

Interpretive Categories: Mudbrick 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: NS: 83 cm; EW: 40 cm; Depth: 9-11 cm 

Discussion: This unit comprises a singular mudbrick in the Northern part of wall f. 5058 lying in the interior row of the double wall. This brick was removed as an individual context in order to float it seperately as a closed context. An analysis of the floatation sample will show relations between artefacts and brick volume expressed in a density analysis. The mortat immediately below this brick was collected for the same purpose.

The floatation analysis showed a large concentrtion of animal bone, including small fragments, some small potsherds, stone, and obsidian, which resembles material most likely collected from older rubbish or fill pits, possibly even older roomfill or middens.
