Unit 6141

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: floor 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 1.2x1.1m 

Discussion: Removal of uppermost floors in NW part of sp.86. Unit slightly larger than 1x1m strips of flooring abuting platform F.154/162 and the screen wall. S part of unit: & floors taken off, all redish to brown in colour w/ black, thicker or thiner skin on top of some of them. Came to floor/packing of dark red colour with white, thin, easily scraped layer/floor over it. All in all, thickness of removed floors varies fron 1-2.5 cm, getting "shalower" towards mid-W.
In the N part I went down 1 floor over and and came onto a nicce, white floor, probably contemporary w/ the "proto lip" of F.154/162.
2 probable cuts in mid-W part.
NOTE: it was not easy to follow floors since they were so finely laid and compacted hey wouldn't pop off.
