Unit 8240

Category: layer    dug in 2001

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: substructure of the hearth 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 50cm E-W; 25cm N-S 

Discussion: The base/ substruction of the hearth F. 776 consisted of brown and red burnt sany clay, coarse at the top and firm to the bottom. Very bad preservation, and not easy to define, since the whole area has traces of burning and exposure to high temperatures; a wide range of nuances of red, brown, and black colour. After removing tehis and previous layer of F. 776 (units 8228 and 8240) two more parts of equally destroyed F. 777 were revealed.
