Unit 32760

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Floors 

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

Discussion: A layer of arbitrarily grouped 2 thin, white floors and 2 thick (1cm) grey make-ups were recorded under the same unit number 32760. The layer was exposed firstly below the dirty floors 32736 in SW-part of the Sp. 531. It appeared that the same layer underlying also the SW platform F.7880 and it laid below the packing U.32759. The described here horizon of the use-surface assigned as 32760 must have been regarded as one of the earliest floor layers that were laid down on top of the fill/packing 32761 which provided new stage of the occupation within the B.132. As such, they represent the first occupational phase within the room. the latter sequence corresponds with the floors 32090 in all over the mentioned space.
Noteworthy is that the layer 32760 covered also earliest construction of a fire installation 32790. The latter might have been used during the remodeling stage of the Sp.531. So the floors 32760 prepared the first phase of the occupation per se.

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.
