Unit 2388

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: erosion,floors 

Data Category Information: Description: 60's

Dimensions: 1.44m N-S x 0.68m E-W x somm thick 

Discussion: An area of plaster frags of laminated applications and bricky material, peeled off in platelets which could be the result of heavy rain at beginning of the season and subsequent drying. On the other hand the deposit was fairly loose with a lot of plaster which suggest its post Mellaart collapse or remnants of plaster he may have excavated from walls and or platform to the west. Underlying deposit is heavily scorched which is more in keeping with the general surface of the associated F.I 82.
This deposit is more likely to represent post Mellaart excavation collapse a erosion and not sampled 

Execution: leaf trowel

Inclusions: 40% >4cm laminated plaster frags (floor or wall?)

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.
