Unit 31127
Category: Layer dug in 2013
Area: Trench 5
Interpretive Categories: Room fill
Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous
Discussion: The layer was exposed in the previous years season. The unit was excavated arbitrarily to an average depth of 7 cm. The unit is composed of large yet irregular concentrations of orange clay and whiter lime together with looser dark brown soil. The layer presents small, evenly distrubted concentrations of charcoal inclusions are present in small quantities and burned building material is only residual. By attending digging a higher percentage of pottery (big sherds) were unearthed. There was also a high percentage of bones. The find rate of obsidian can be described as occasional. Bones were in general highly fragmented and some pieces of pottery had charred areas. Furthermore a few x finds were excavated in the south-western part of the structure: including a flat stone tool, part of a ground stone an obsidian core as well as a clay ball. To conclude it can be said, that the layer doesn't present a homogenous surface.

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.
