Unit 11634

Category: layer    dug in 2005

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: platform construction makeup 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: raised area (platform); Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: Layer reveals mudbricks at platform edge, but layer is extending off under the wall to the north. This is being left at the moment, because it seems to go into another large area. Once removed, has left a clear depression in the platform (see drawing). This layer had levelled the platform off to the 'rubble layer' surface. This rubble layer was clearly the primary platform construction, and the hole left by the grey layer was probably cut post-construction of the platform, by removing some material. There is no hint as to why this was done.

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.
