Unit 16704

Category: Layer    dug in 2008

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Floor sequence 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Dimensions: 1.94m x 1.74m x 0.12m 

Discussion: Remnants of plaster floors and make up levels. Heavily denuded levels but at least two plaster floors and make-up levels were seen in section between space 92 and space 94 (DM 2008)

Multilayered floors, alternating white plaster with brown plaster.
Despite the fact that they are heavily truncated by erosion (floor was very near surface), we can see clearly that they cover the entire spce 92, going up against the outer walls of it.
The fact that this floor is related (clearly) to the eastern wall of s92, which is also the western wall of s94, is a good indication for the fact that both spaces are apart of the same building b52. (Doru 02/08/05)

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.
