Unit 21122
Category: Layer dug in 2014
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: Room infill layer
Data Category Information: Location: between walls; Deposition: heterogeneous
Description: Eroded, so unclear limits at some end.
Discussion: This unit is the continuation of where excavation in 2012 ended, and was thus given separate number (from U20202). It is the room infill of space 40 which was partly excavated in 2012 (some 5 cm?) as U20202 (or u20486). It was a hetergenous composite layer of silt and clay with inclusions of bricks, plaster, charcoal, secondary carbonates, mortar, etc. Few finds were noted but two x-finds were measured. One is human ribs, probably belonging to some of the graves that cut this layer in the west part, and one fragment of a stone tool.
It should be considered the same as 21166; quite possibly also 20202 (?).
