Unit 21249

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: plaster and packing make up 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: raised area (platform); Material: re-used brick&mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: This unit represent a packing make up and plaster floor on the platform 7423, it consisted a massive packing materials in particularly on the center of this surface due to the rests destructions oven F7433; (plaster & mudbrick) debris mixed with occupation debris. It bounded at the north edge of platform by mudbrick ridge U21267 that built after the construction of the oven. At this side, the higher-level floors have been preserved under lean of hearth F7402, F7426. The infill pit U20071, cut U20072 excavated in 2015 was excavated as well like U21249. Finally, we should note that this floor present the earliest level of the phase II on the platform F7423.
