Category: Layer    dug in 2009

Area: Trench 5 

Interpretive Categories: room fill 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: E-W 3,5m, N-S 3m, depth 0,1m 

Discussion: Scraping the dried surface of Space 343 at the beginning of the 2009 season. Unit was opened because during scraping a lot of finds came up. This unit is the same as 16896 from last year so not sample were taken. Because there is a great risk of possible contamination by the sand bag backfill we did not sieve this unit.
