Unit 11743

Category: Layer    dug in 2006

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: floor 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: dark grey clay; Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation); Basal Spit: unpainted

Dimensions: 1.60 x 0.80 x 0.04 

Discussion: This is a floor in W part of Building 61, next to a very deep cut left by Mellaart's excavation campaigne. It is set on a white pebbled make-up layer (12268). The unit consists of small separate fragments of the floor recorded in the NW section of the Building (sketch plan does not present all of these fragments). The unit probably comprise one element of larger floor deposits that were recorded as units 11724 and 11745. Compared with these, in particular with unit 11724, its consistency is significantly less compact.
The floor belongs to the youngest phase of the Building occupation and it is dated back to phase I.
