Unit 23078

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: packing/rubble layer 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: building

Discussion: Layer of burnt rubble meant to rise the platform F7952, directly on top of constructional levelling layer 23110=23090=23084. Layer consists of mixed constructional material - pieces of bricks, mortar, redeposited midden and plaster mixed with clayish matrix in order to provide compactness. Directly under the first make-up layer (preparation for first plaster floor). Essentially same as unit 23108 and it, indeed, does along the northern wall of B131 do down to the main area of SP500. Units 23078 and 23108 were divided by a row of mudbricks, 23109 (same as 23087), that were used as a platform restriction.
