Unit 21917

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Make up floor 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: The composition of this layer seems very similar to some of the roomfill layers or midden found on site. Conversely, Unit 21917 is quite different than other make up layers excavated in F3477 because of its consistency and the concentration of many charchoal and other inclusions. Such characteristics make us interpret this layer as a structural intervention aimed at raising the Central East platform hight.

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded
