Unit 5657

Category: Layer    dug in 2002

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: Removed some infill material that was lying beneath Mellaart's backfill, there where two platforms close to each other, with apprx 40 cm of space in between, both truncated, the North one lifted as unit 5661 but South one as part of this infill (see Bleda's drawing of Space 209-he noted patches of white plaster), visible in the section.

Very rubbley, animal holes.

In the N-S line with platform extension [5660], there is a surface with salts on top (part of platform to the south), also lined by lined plaster to the wall F.838
