Unit 30995

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Fire spot 

Data Category Information: Description: fire spots (non-structured); Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: Below u.30992 the grey layer similar in composition and color to the rim we found around the hearth, there was a layer u.30995 made by burned clay and charcoal. This unit had a roughly circular shape and filled a cut u.30997 not so deep with sides just perceptible. The composition of the hearth and its locatoin nearby to the hearth (feat. 3472) allowed us to identify this unit and its cut as a fire spot and to give the hearth rim a continuity previously lost due to the fire spot cut. The unit was excavated with leaf trowels.
