Unit 21222

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: dirty floor 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: This unit represent the second earliest dirty plaster floor surface in the southern activities area. It is eroded in the south part by animal’s barrows and other events from the later phase. This floor is curved with lower elevation in the center than on the edges. In fact the westerns edges take a shep of the earliest fire installation below of the floor. It contains a lot of charcoal due to neighboring of the oven F7433 and earliest hearth F7431. The traces of the activities on the dirty floor extend to the east and to the south, the space of activities in this phase become larger than phase II. The context in this area more clear, the space has been arranged with an oven with its plaster floor in the S/W part. A pit hearth 7431 to the north of the oven, finally a big surface with dirty floor to the east south part. This area is contemporary with the plaster floors on main space and northern platforms (see U21257, U21270, U21271, and U21275).
