Unit 3376

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: non-white laid floor; Deposition: composite (floor/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Dimensions: 98 cm E-W x 25 cm S-N 

Discussion: In this unit I removed the floor thin white layer of plaster. The floor stopped (???) on the profile of entrance and it dissapeared. The fine floor line can be followed as E-W baulk (??) but not visible in the profile of entrance, instead there is an ashy deposit on same level.

??= unreadable 

Recognition: When layer (3342) removed the hardness and texture of the soil clamped to a thick layer of white deposit (plaster) and loose but clayish layer just below this hard layer. 

Definition: To the S and W it continues to the baulk section to the N bordered by a cut/pit and to the E by the entrance to space 117.
