Unit 1737
Category: layer dug in 1996
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: floor packing
Data Category Information: none
Dimensions: 1.3 x 1.3 x 0.05 m
Discussion: After taking out the traces of floor 116 we dig the whole area of unit 1737 through layer #11, a brown reddish compact soil which formed the substratum of the floor. Under this layer #11 traces of the lower floor (F. 117) are observable. It seems therefore that #11 separates the two floors. Wendy thinks that the patches of plaster may be fallen, possibly from the roof.
