Unit 20042

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Hearth Superstructure 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: hearth; Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Description: Friable sandy clay top layer to hearth feature 3436. Appears to sit on top of earlier ashier hearth layers/floors. 

Discussion: Unit was recognized in the process of determining the stratigraphic relationships between the hearth and the surrounding floor layers. The layer appears to be an obviously distinct superstructure layer, built in order to maintain the shape and structure of the hearth after long periods of use.
