Unit 6306

Category: layer    dug in 2000

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: kitchen floor 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 0.40 x 0.15 m 

Discussion: Patches of white blobs described in 6301 unit were dug in this unit. These surfaces were removed together with their packing (orange in compound layer description) and thin layer of use immediately below the white floor plaster (black in compound layer). These were dug as single unit since across the unit 6301 different amounts of the higher floor (6306) survived. Thus it was decided to clear everything, packing, plaster and black in between, down to 6301.
While cleaning, it was establlished that one of the youngest lines of platform extansion (platform 16, that is) connects to this level. That would then phase platform and connect space further east to it. It is proposed that 6306 floor corresponds to a youngest major phase of F.169 while beneath are slightly older levels of periodic (seasonal?) repair, and it is these that are connected to F. 613 further north.
Finally, relation to floors around F. 613 was ….

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.
