Unit 1890

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: surface 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: mixed; Deposition: composite (floor/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Dimensions: 1.70m N-S 3.20m E-W 

Description: irregular surface smooth in places heavily cracked in centre. Gradual slope from north to oven lip (82) also gradual slope from south-east corner to north west. Includes patches of white plaster. To north of oven (82) there are ash deposits. Western area there is a patch of brown scorching. Western area included concentrated plaster forming north south line which may belong to truncated platform lining. 

Discussion: N/B this surface was recorded using the 1996 system which is now no longer in use.
Surface as left by Mellaart's excavation, fairly smooth but uneven , general tipping from south east - north west. Patches and areas of ashy and scorched deposits probably derived from the fire installation . To the west were plaster alignments that appeared to be truncated benches from Mellaart's excavation. Not yet investigated as the space is half sectioned.

The west and north sections lie on the limit of excavation line thus arbitrary.

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.
