Unit 6576

Category: layer    dug in 2000

Area: Trench I 

Interpretive Categories: collapse,room fill 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 0.50m x 0.40m 

Discussion: Ashy layers around and below plastery uneven /wavy layers in 6570 (in Sp. 190) fire inst ?
At the beginning it was thought that we started to expose a feature eg. Fire installation, because the soil with the unit (6570) has changed a little bit and was revealed an ashy soil. However it wasn't found any feature and the ashy soft soil couldn't be separated from the unit 6570. It seemed that this ashy layer was an internal/irregular layer within 6570, so we've called unit 6576 "same as 6570"
Meanwhile, there maybe a fire installation in the following layers such as oven/hearth 

Recognition: Below 6550, which peeled off an informal white salted/phytolith 'division surface' as found between all these layers 

Definition: Bounded by walls to E, W and N and by Mellaart trench to S - well possible inner wall slightly further N to be investigated 

Execution: hand pick, trowel 

Condition: hot, sunny, cloudy - film crew here 

Consistency: mainly firm with soft patches 

Colour: 10YR4/3 brown - 2.5 Y 4/2 dark greyish brown (brick pieces) - which are most of it 

Texture: Silt 60%, clay 35%, straw 5% for brick. Also plaster=clay

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.
