Unit 13068

Category: Layer    dug in 2006

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: infill layer below b.62 

Data Category Information: Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 2.40 x 3.30 x 0.15 

Discussion: This is an infill layer located between a sequence of deposits below Building 62 and a mudbrick wall (unit 13059), dated probably to level III acording to Mellaart. It is a heterogenous layer comprised of mixed pale yellow, oranguish and mid brown clay material, mainly broken and fragmentated mudbricks. The excavation has finished when a dark grey sandy layer was readed, as well as a part of floor(13092)and a some lined of foundation trench recorded as unit 13097(see graphics 03/321).
As the surface of the unit was slolping eastwards, the heights differed from 0.15 in the western to 0.04 in the eastern part of the layer.
