Unit 13115

Category: Layer    dug in 2006

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Consolidation layer,Demolition back fill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit

Dimensions: ew to L.O.E 

Discussion: Back fill of buildi ng 59 to create a consolidated building platform for the floors of B.60 above. The material is contained within the partially standing walls of B.59. The fill is well compacted and contained lenses of plaster. The fill comes down directly onto the abandoment phase features of B.59 and contained two X finds ( figurine fragments of animals)

Depth varies with the north to south slope of the building from 0.94m in the south to 0.68m in the north. 

Recognition: mid brown crushed mud brick and plaster (redeposited) between walls of building 59 to make a stable platform for building 60 

Definition: good 

Execution: mattock and trowel excavated 

Condition: dry windy 

Consistency: firm (well compacted) 

Colour: mid greyish brown 

Texture: silty clay
