Unit 30137

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

Data Category Information: Location: between walls; Deposition: heterogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit

Discussion: The room-fill u.30137 was placed between the walls F.3679, F.7301 and F.7149 that altogether comprise the limits of Sp.518. The mentioned interior must be treated as a stratigraphical entity as well as the recording/documentation of this space, located between B.77 and Sp.511. The deposit was mainly compound, consisting of small components including tiny lenses of clay, immersed in mid-brown sandy-silt. The exploration of the layer was conducted in order to find a base of the older southern wall of B.77 (F.7301). Taking into consideration the fact that this goal was accomplished, further excavation was ceased arbitrarily, due to danger of collapsing the structure of F.3679 northward. However, one may state that the deposit uncovered underneath U. 30148 must be treated as the same with U.30137 from stratigraphical and contextural point of view.

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
