Unit 32714

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: floors 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: multiple; Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: - Patches of a mid-white plaster and underlying dark-orange make-up layer had been assigned under one unit no. 32714. It was located in SW-part of the Sp.531directly to the West of the Oven F.7732. The stratigraphical relationship between the construction of the oven and the described here floor layer were confirmed by the fact that the floor overlapped lower segment of the fire installation. The described relationship gives valuable insight into the actual sequence of use of the neighboring features. However, bad state of preservation of the floor which was recorded only in some discontinued patches din not allow connecting other object with the sequence. It is possible that the evidenced patchy character of the floor indicate actual deposition of the layer as a kind of repair placed in order to make even the surface. The latter notion finds more validities by the evidence of the ruffled floor 32736 beneath the U.32714. Furthermore, the thick orange make-up underlying the mid white floor might have been used specifically for preparing even before proper floor coating.
The distinctive floor/make-up layer and the floor U.32714 was contemporary with the counterpart to the north U.32728, in that sense that they both overlaid the white floors U. 32736. As such they might be regarded as the same sequence of the repair, consisted of different material.

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.
