Unit 17682

Category: Layer    dug in 2008

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: infill,midden 

Data Category Information: Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 6.50 x 2.40 x 0.17 

Discussion: This is a part of bigger infill placed in the eastern part of the trench. The infill was a compound layered making of mid grey silty sand, light brown sandy silt with sporadical fragments of broken bricks and other constructional elements (eg. Fr of plaster, mortar, oven superstructure). All strations recorded within the infill were sloping to the East. The latter reminds younger layers uncovered above and probably is caused by an earthquake which may have taken place in the part of the mound. Taking into consideration a huge size of the infill relative small amounts of material was found.
