Unit 17805
Category: Layer dug in 2008
Area: TP
Interpretive Categories: infill
Data Category Information: Deposition: heterogeneous
Dimensions: 9.30 x 1.10 x 0.70
Discussion: This is an infill placed directly underneath the solid wall (N-S)- 17800, in central part of the trench. It may have been a kind of a make up that was set up to strenghten and consolidate this wall. In its S part it was filling up deep cut that may have been a result of a deliberate truncation made with the purpose of stabilization the wall 17800. Alternatively, this cut may have been functionally associated with use of this area in the preceding period, posssibly in relation with space 327. The cut truncates the corner of the walls 11764 and 17827 that may have originally comprised walls of the same building . This cut was particularly deep. The infill itself was ery thick (up to 0.70 cm) and composed of rubble material. The deposit contained relatively small amount of material. However, small fr of red palster were recorded. The basal boundary was uneven: against the northern edge (section) there are bricks of wall 15865. In northern part of the unit, from the western side- it was shallow and was placed on the N-S wall 15856. In the central part bricks of wall 17827 were present.
