Unit 4186

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: basin base 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: basin; Material: plaster; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.35 x 0.40 x 0.20 m 

Discussion: Basin plaster found with a possible association with (413). heavily truncated no sides remain. The truncation has occured from Mellaart, rodents and cleaning.

Possibly associated with the plaster layer (4183) although due to poor condition of 4183 it was not noticed until 4183 was taken off.

(plaster layer 4183 being makeup to platform f424).

Possibly this layer may be associated with 4250. Using 4250 as a bin linning, removed in previous excavations in a later phase. But on reflection it appears to be cut by posthole (4260). on xcavating this deposit of plaster a quern stone was revealed beneath the plaster and sitting on floor layer 4252 the stone had been used to divide the bin from (4183).

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.
