Unit 20887

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: bin wall 

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

Discussion: Remains of what was interpreted as remains of bin wall. The unit was recognized by noticing plastered floors lipping up. The cleaning of the area showed parallel structuring alongside the plaster ledges. The composition and color of the bin walls due to heavy erosion of N part of Sp. 444 were difficult to distinguish from the surrounding. The fact that it was different from U20886 was decided partially based on difference in color (which was most likely caused by W part of the Space being affected by fire) and mostly by the fact that both walls were forming two arches. However the actual place where the two units would be meeting was tranctuated by animal burrow.

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.
