Unit 21195

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: infill layer 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: This is an infill layer of side room (Sp. 504) of B. 131. It has been easily distinguished due to its consistency, colour, and texture. It is very thick (up to 50 cm) and badly burnt layer of room infill which contains rich finds and inclusions in form of highly fired animal bones, obsidian, clay balls, charcoals, baked and burnt pieces of clay. At the bottom of the layer many x finds have been recorded for example hand axe, obsidian blade, horn core and worked stones. In the NW part of the infill a big concentration of minerals (possible from cave) have been placed. Two botanist samples have been taken from the bottom most part of the layer. During the exploration of the infill a partition wall has been exposed with plaster from its eastern side. The basal boundary was clearly visible and smooth. It is probable that under the removed infill, dirty floor has been recorded as well as some feature outlines (bins?) are visible.

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
