Unit 6256

Category: layer    dug in 2000

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: floor and packing layer 

Dimensions: 1m x 0.9m 

Discussion: Photo: 2000T2.00-07 Slide: 2000T500.16-18

Phosphate, phytolith,ICP and architectural samples are not taken from this unit, because the top layer was already taken.
This unit was a group of layers that consists of packing and a couple of floors. It was excavated to reach the platform underneath and also see where the actual contour of the burial cut.
It was difficult to see which floors the burial was cut from especially on the north-west corner of the platform. When we started the unit, we had a packing on top and 3 floorsin sequences. When we finished the unit we were on the 4th floor. At the end we decided that the burial was cut from the top floor which was exposed last year.
