Unit 3930

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: small fill of occupation debris 

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

Dimensions: 0.17 N-S x 0.10 E-W x 0.05 m 

Discussion: (3930) represents a small spill of what seems to be some sort of mixed occupation debris above the larger ashy deposit above the same floor (3934). It initially seemed to be continous with a more substantial deposit beneath, extending beneath the floor layers to the N of the S wall of space 117. However, this was disproved on excavation. 

Recognition: A mixed/salty layer which lay above the powdery ash of (3929). 

Definition: See above. 

Execution: Trowel/leaf trowel.
