Unit 23491

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: burnet layer infill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: This unit bounded by the east mudbrick wall F8517and the west wall F2010. This layer contains a lot of charcoal and ashes in particularly in the S/W part of the space due the presence of the maiden, the surface was slopping to the south. The eastern part in the space adjacent of the wall is more compact and contains a cluster of clay stones and Somme bones and reused mudbricks and mortar. This part might be represent occupation surface. However, it is important to note the relationship of the space 290 with the building 80, the new wall F8517 is contemporary with the walls of building F2013, F2012, 2010, and F1486.
