Unit 2794

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor layer 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: mixed; Deposition: composite (floor/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Dimensions: 1.38 x 47 x 2 

Discussion: This similar deposition to the (2752), see more info unit sheet 2752.
From 2752:
This dark grey coloured layer, compacted by pedological activities, suggested another layering for floors that took place in the NE corner of the house, cut by a pit towards the west of it. However, it has a cut on the south of it which suggested that it might be a platform, although revealing the plaster surface suggest the impossibility of the idea because the plaster floor is rising up against to something in the south and possibly continuing into the area where the crawl hole was situated. However this deposit, within 7 visible 3-4 different layers, contains, a type of ashy deposits mixed with possible plaster or mudbrick aggregates (< 0.5 - 1 cm, 10 %).
