Unit 3273

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: infilling 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit

Dimensions: 92 x 100 x 12 cm 

Discussion: Infilling in space 155 (CC).
(3273) is another arbitrary layer on the end of the N of the (3269) within the space 155. Max thickness is about 12 cm. Removal of the infill which seems like collapsed building material exposed several large plaster surfaces although they are not floor. Those plasters situated in a way they can be relating to the floors. Near the W wall one with slight angle sloping down and one piece vertically going down (or placed). The other one is also almost 45 degrees diving into the ground. Partial excavation around them also exposed dark red silty clayey soil underneath them, which is covered very thin layer of plaster. That fragile plaster, no consistency to be a proper floor. 

Recognition: As 10 cm spit.

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.
