Unit 11652

Category: Layer    dug in 2005

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: room makeup 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: floor (packing only); Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: up to 12cm thick 

Discussion: had a patvh pf bnurning towards the centre (11661) of the building, showing that at some point this had been an activity surface. This seemed to represent the earliest activity surface related building, with everything below it seemingly involving construction only. Thus the clay stamp seal, X1, could be seen as going in with the final layer of sealing off the old building, before use of building 44 began (as a burial place??)
