Unit 1798
Category: layer dug in 1997
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: Fill
Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit
Dimensions: 1.00m NS x 1.30m EW
Discussion: Digging in the NE corner of building 10 in an effort to find the exact shape of the platform 137, that is the platform to which basin F.134 is abutting. Both surface and edges of the platform are destroyed and it was not possible to restore its original shape. Of the sides of the platform only the one on the south was partly recognisable as it preserved some white plaster showing clearly its connection with basin 134. In the northern part of the unit, in a lower level, a plastered surface with traces of fire was found. Its borders are unidentifiable and its relation with platform 137 still problematic.
