Unit 30606
Category: Layer dug in 2013
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: Room Infill
Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous
Discussion: The layer was recognised because of the firm consistency which differed from the surrounding u.30604, with its friable consistency and content of organic material (u.30604). It was spared from the "well-known" overcut of the walls in Mellaart's excavations, because of its position at the corner. The shape of the 'posthole' is rectangular e-w 0.35m x n-s 0.10m.
On reflection this layer is probably not a posthole fill. The squareish shape seems more likely to be the result of 'fortuitous' plaster tumble on the south side, maybe associated with the original abandonment sequence, truncated by Mellaart.

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.
