Unit 3591

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: pit fill,platform make up 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 0.4 x 0.25 

Discussion: The fill was more or less a continous layer of hard, fine yellow brown soil typical of layers between flooor plasters. The S end was very tumbbly w/ chunks of fallen plaster, large gypsum pieces and a few dark ashy lenses.
The lower boundary of the cut was much less distinct in the S and as was the perimiter boundary.
At first I hoped that the cut might ??? a burial (baby in a basket?), however after about the thickness of the platform a pretty distinct floor surface was uncovered.
