Unit 22265

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Plaster floor 

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

Description: This is a plastered floor and its packing in the Western and central area of the Annex of Building 52, space 252. 

Discussion: Under U22260, the floor in the annex was distinctively different in the West from the East. U22265 represents the Western part. The surface of this floor had been regularly plastered but it was extremely worn out, possibly because the western part of this room corresponds with the entrance path; i.e. the way in and out of the annex into the central-eastern Building 52, therefore it would have been more often rather than the eastern part of the annex. The packing of this floor seemed to be of marl, and this was diffused onto the floor below making the excavation in the particular space trickier.
