Unit 20747
Category: Layer dug in 2016
Area: TPC
Interpretive Categories: burned layer of fire installation on platform
Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: hearth; Material: pise-like; Deposition: heterogeneous
Discussion: This unit is a highly burned layer of the fire spot F.3860 located directly on top of the plastered platform F.8284 in the S part of Space 594. Unit 20747 was recognized as a separate event based on its distinct dark color and prominent contrast. This burned layer seemed to be quite heterogeneous and layered. It mainly consisted of platform's layers of plaster and make-up, which were highly destroyed by heating. The basal boundary of this unit was clearly defined when burned material ceased and undestroyed constructional layers of platform appeared. Within this unit a few small charcoal bits recognized by charocal team member as juniper (from L. juniperus) were recognized.
