Unit 11937

Category: Layer    dug in 2005

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: collapsed on floor 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: Less burnt layer within S94; under 10286. Seems to be collapsed walls (roof?) on the floor of space 93, early during the fire. It has the same composition as collapsed layer 10286, but it is less fired. Same brick material with wood imprints are present within it and a lot of charcoal. The layer 11937 has signs of burning so the scenario is that some structures collapsed on the floor early after the fire started subsequently the horn x12 of cluster 10281 fell on the top of 11937 and after a lot more fire, 10286 came down.
Further investigation proved that that's exactly how it happened except for x12 of cluster 10281 which is part of another unit (collapse of bench in which it was set).

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.
