Interpretive Categories: bricky layer 

 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

 

Dimensions: 3.40 x 1.60 x 0.20 

 

Discussion: It is a bricky layer formed probably by destruction or abandonment of Building 61 dated to Phase II, or its later reconstruction. The layer infill was rather heterogenous and composed of large number of constructional elements (bricks, mortar). Some fragments of painted plaster were also found. It is questionable wheter this infill was homogenous in terms of its depositional history. The layer was located between the following units: from S side-11503, E- 12275.
This layer was truncated by later pis (11760, 11741, 11589).
It appears as if the layer was formed in the same way as adjacent layers recorded as u. 12297 and 12282.

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.
