Unit 19391
Category: Layer dug in 2012
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: room infill
Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous
Dimensions: 4,0 x 1,90 x 0,22
Discussion: This was a room-fill within space 470 that was placed below previously excavated fill [19390]. Taking into consideration the texture and colour it was different than mentioned above younger deposit. It consisted of more orange bricks and clearly recognizable fragments of collapsed white-grey wall plasters in huge amount. However, the accumulations had many similarities. Nevertheless, the unit 19391 comprised of more sandy sediments, within whom (in central-southern part) cluster of Clay balls [19392] was evidenced.
In western part of the space below explored room fill [19391] there was a clear noticeable surface of phytoliths that is considered to be an earth floor [19393).
