Unit 32727

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: dirty floors sediments 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: occupation; Deposition: multiple

Discussion: A sequence of several dirty-floor sediments U.32727 had been recorded after taking out the plaster floors 32701 overlying the West-Central platform F.8321 in its most Southern segment. The deposit consisted of at least 2 layers of the thin (earth?) floors or trampled (?) surfaces that were covered by dense sediment of ash and charcoals mixed with silt. The nature of the unit remains uncertain due to the peculiar location which corresponded with sloping Southern-edge of the platform F.8321. Worth noticing is the fact that the accumulated materials had not taken afterwards as the dirt and waste sediments but they were left and coated by the white plasters U.32701.

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
