Unit 16276

Category: Layer    dug in 2008

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: plastered floor 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: occupation; Deposition: single

Discussion: Removal of white-grey plaster surface under room fill 15742 (?). This unit is truncated on the west side by Mellaart excavations and/or erosion. Material was very compact and friable with parts that came off in chunks. The surface was replastered at least once, but it was impossible to excavate these layers given the dryness and condition of the soil. This layer appears to be identical to the plastered layer 16287 of F.2368 to the south. The basal boundary was unclear in the north, coming down on both a grey and orange layer. Layer included bits of charcoal and animal bone fragments.

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.
