Unit 1640

Category: layer    dug in 1996

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor surface,floors 

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

Description: Floor surface (s) by E wall, space 113
Remains of floors truncated by Mellaart. Patchy surfaces of creamy plaster, steep slope at lowest level. Upper surfaces (which were removed) were more level.
Surface worn out in places, with greyish make-up layer showing through. 

Discussion: We aimed for the lowest floor surface, taking it all off in one. However, it now appears that there may have been some features in these floors at the N end - in the lowest level a possible plaster-lined semi-circular (possibly circular beyond section) shallow depression & above it at a later date a smaller plaster basin which shows well in section. Due to our decision to take al the floors out as one (scant remnants left by Mellaart) & to the patchy nature of the plaster surface, it is not possible to say exactly what form this surface took. However, beyond the section we could excavate more carefully in the future.

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.
