Unit 19393
Category: Layer dug in 2012
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: sequence of phytoliths
Data Category Information: Deposition: heterogeneous
Dimensions: 2,12 x 1,68 x 0,01-0,02
Discussion: This was a sequence (compound layer) of laminated phytoliths and mid-brown silt, that were subsequently repeated. According to specialist analysis the evidence of the phytoliths (mainly impressions of husks) brings to light particular activities that took place in the space 470. It is highly possible that its last phase of use was involved with de-husking of crops. The analysis highlighted also that the phytoliths mainly consist of the remnants of wheat and some wild grasses. Consequently, the described deposit indicates a special kind of processing area.
