Interpretive Categories: plaser and packing floor on the main space buildin 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: occupation; Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Discussion: this unit represent plaster and packing floor of the main space 135 extended below of the plaster floor U21253 on platform 7411. It is bounded by the platforms (F3441,F3442) in the north and by the southern area of activities. The floor has very thick compact deposit; it contains a lot of rest brick and clay mortar in the west center of space. Tow arbitraries spots fire was excavated on top of plaster floor, which situated at the east center of space. Its contains a lot of charcoal and clay aggregates and plants remains; the two spots are symmetries lien on the axe N/S. the southern one is more close to the "dirty" floor, so may be indicated a kind of activates events under lean with the southern area. The exact phasing/sequence is clear, the floor represent second level of (phase I) and it is contemporary with the foundations of the northern platforms (plaster floor U21270, F3442; and plaster floor U21275), as well as is contemporary with the structures in the southern area (oven F7433: U21250,U21251,21252, 21266); hearth F7431 and dirty floor U21222 and possible pit ladder(F7434:U21259, 21260).
