Unit 32703

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: rim of heath 

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

Discussion: A fragmentarily preserved THE EARLIEST construction of the rim U.32704 which originally walled the circular hearth F.7871 had been revealed during the exploration of overlying dirty floors 32070 and later rim U.32098. The presented here construction preserved only in SE part of the cut 32702 as well as in small piece on its Western edge. Noticeable diminish of the rim was related with later remodeling and partial demolition of older structures. Unfortunately, in the course of demolition activities the described construction (U.32703) had been left only in its upper segment. Considering the fact that the rim overlapped directly mentioned cut that might confirm that the rim was the first – in term of the earliest - construction and as such it was related with the earliest face of use of the fire installation (F.7871). Worth noticing is that the mentioned phase of use most plausibly was also related with (partially preserved) floor surface F.32704.
