Unit 22813

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: GDN 

Interpretive Categories: room fill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: Room-fill of western annex Sp.555 of building B.81. The more or less central part of this layer was partly excavated in 1960's. However, the floors, platforms and bins within Sp.555 were not reached by James Mellaart. The room-fill consisted of very mixed material including various architectural debris and an interesting assemblage of finds (mostly worked stones, e.g. pallettes and polishers). These artifacts were mainly concentrated next to a raw of four bins F.8081 situated alongside northern wall F.8071 of the annex (see unit sketch).

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
