Unit 8194

Category: layer    dug in 2001

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: base of clayball feature 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 34cm EW X 49cm NS 

Discussion: This is the base of F.758. We reconized that it was a continuation of the feature when I was excavating unit 8179. (floors). Took off two layers of packing and plaster. When I began the impressions of the clayballs remained in the top white plaster. I took off that incredibly thin layer along with the associated packing and reached the white plaster basal boundary. It is now contemporaneous with the basal of 8179.The entire exposed white floor will be photographed focusing on the relationship between F.758 and the oven (F.646). The southern edge of the feature is unclear as it is where the screen wall was. The base also shows some black/purplish burning probably related to its proximity to the area.
