Unit 21912

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Floor 

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

Discussion: This layer is a floor, located in the central-west part of the building. The layer is composed by mid yellow clay, mixed with ashes and charcoal; for this composition, at the beginnig the layer was distinguished by the central floor u21913, characterized by a surface cleaner. Actually, during the excavation, we noticed that the floor u21912 was the same floor as u21913, but with a surface dirtier due the proximity to the hearth and the dirty floor area.
