Unit 32795

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: leveling deposit 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: floor (packing only); Material: re-used brick&mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: - A leveling layer U.32795 had been recorded in the southern part of the Sp.531 below remnants of an extensive fire-installation U.32790 (F.8338). Considering the composition of the layer it was composed of the same material as deposit – U.32791, which was excavated before within close vicinity. The described here layer 32795 most plausibly had been laid down to make even surface and perform protruded area for setting the fire installation. The purpose of making-even surface must have been urgent one due to there was identified other installation F.8339/U.32796 underneath the layer 32795. Taking into consideration enigmatic and interim characters of the both fire installations. Their accomplishments might be regarded as makeshift performed for cooking proceedings within the room that had been under remodeling (at that time). As such the layer U.32795 should be considered as a part of the deposit U.32761 that was shifted in order to flatten the surface before setting new fire-installation (F.8338).
