Unit 7865

Category: layer    dug in 2003

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: rubble of bricks 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 2.10 x 0.88 x 0,14 

Discussion: This is a layer composed of fragmented and destroyed mid brown mudbricks. It is placed almost directly at the top of a compact layer of clay and silt interpreted either as a floor or roof of the Neolithic building. It is a part of a larger bricky layer (7813 and 7864). The unit contains destroyed constructional elements of the building. At this point, however, it is difficult to decide whether these are fragments of a collapsed wall and/or roof placed in situ or constructional debris used to level the surface of the ground.
