Unit 23912
Category: Layer dug in 2017
Area: TPC
Interpretive Categories: constructional layer
Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous
Discussion: It was a constructional layer placed on top of an earlier platfrom. The earlier platform was recorded under two feature numbers (F.8660 and F. 8661) as it was placed at two distinct levels. The constructional layer (u. 23912) was much thicker at the lower part of the earlier platform (f.8661) making the elevation difference invisible.
This layer was directly related to a clay moulding (u. 23918) which was strengthening its W and S edges. The layer was very homogenous and had organic inclusions (charcoal, animal bones).
