Unit 5427

Category: Layer    dug in 2002

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor/floors 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: dark grey clay; Deposition: multiple

Discussion: The unit comprises floor/floors of st 20th, which is under 5415 and 5424. As it is one and the same floor, it is given one unit number. It consists of consecutive floors, each one 3-5 mm thick. Their surface is gray and the packing is light brown. A morphology block is cut at the E wall. The floor is slanting down to E and S. The level at the beginning and end of the unit: N 1009.48/52m, S part - 1009.52/58, center 1009.55. The floor to the E of --- line is smoother, the clay is finer and more compact. At level of ---- is (?) traces of white plaster. It is possible that a platform existed E from the oven, abutting it. This structure was plastered together with the E and S walls and was one of the first structures of the house. It is a platform! The platform floor consists of 1.5cm thick finne pale gray clay and 2cm brown layering below. There are 2 such floors, both covered with 1mm thin plaster
