Unit 16792

Category: Layer    dug in 2008

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

Description: Infill within End os Space, Building 55 

Discussion: Underexcavated infill at western end of Space 256. Initial deposit appears to be natural silting, possibly wind blown, interbedded with medium sized delaminated wall plaster fragments. This could indicate that the house was left open for a bit after 'closure/abandonment' and prior to infilling.

NB/ in realtion to collaspe (16788) in space 247, are there any other indications that the house was left open for a bit before infilling ie.
House abandoned, wid swept deposits formed at corners, wall collapse. Then house cleared / cleaned out prior to infilling? Might explain why cluster (17733) remained as being trapped under wall collapse? 

Consistency: mixed 

Colour: midbrown with collapse fragments of plaster and mudbrick 

Texture: mixed - friable, blocky small brick frags, laminated fragments of wall plaster, very soft and fine basal layer of loess type material ie. windblown, slow accumulation, interbedded with delaminated wall plaster fragments 

Bedding: basal - soft silting, imperceptible bedding, upper infill - massive 

Inclusions: occ. Bone, obsid - small frags 

Post-depositional Features: dry, friable, rootlets and animal holes 

Basal Boundary: clae, sharp, anthropogenic / house (platform floor) 

Dry sieve volume: 0

Associated Mellaart Levels (from Space): Unassigned at present 

Associated Hodder Level (from Space): Unassigned at present 

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
