Category: Layer dug in 2015
Area: GDN
Interpretive Categories: fill,midden
Data Category Information: Location: in abandoned building; Deposition: coarsely bedded (dumps)
Discussion: Midden-like deposit sealing north-western part of room-fill of Sp.561 / B.142 above platform F.8063. It included a great number of largely dispersed astragali (this deposit did not form a single and dense cluster) together with some other artifacts like fragments of ceramic vessels and stone tools. The eastern part of the midden seemed to be truncated by foundation cut for western foundation of B.137 (B.I.5) excavated in 1960's. This midden was covered by naturally accumulated fill of 1960's trench.
