Unit 2519

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: inter-building fill 

Data Category Information: Location: between walls; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 3.62 x 0.84 m 

Discussion: The space 73 seems to be isolated from building 1 at the eastern edge. The floor level is composed of two parallel mudbrick walls, on in s. edge another is close to the north edge (under the western wall). Moreover, I encountered mudbrick slab under the northern wall. The place among these wall features are very clayish (very compact) with a plaster lump. These should be the deposit fell down from top, I.e. roof.
On the other hand two stone clusters with many individual. stones scattered one in S.E. edge, another at the middle of western edge. When we look around the cluster we see ashy (incl. charcoal) in fill, These were probably fire installations! Second idea might be that the stones were dumped within the fill.*

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
