Unit 13041

Category: Layer    dug in 2006

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: infill layer,make up layer 

Data Category Information: Location: between walls; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 4.50 x 5.30 x 0.09 

Discussion: This is a layer underneath a floor of Building 62, covering the entire surface stretching between western and eastern walls of thet Building. It was composed of two layers although no distinct boundary between them was recognised. The upper layer was composed of brownish silty sand with large amount of charcoal inclusions. The bottom one was similar but it a considerable amount of pale yellow clay lenses, resembelling material used for brick production. Considering the size of the unit's surface, four archive and four flotation samples were collected in order to discern possible differences ın space use. The layer was also very rich with phytoliths inclusions and hence four phytolith samples were taken.
The unit has an irregular shape as it was truncated by later units (11589, 11742) and the Mellaart's trench.

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded
