Unit 6985

Category: layer    dug in 2001

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: storage facility,storage pit 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 5 x 1,20 x 0,25 

Discussion: Upper part of the infill should be included to the unit directly above (ca 3 cm). Lower part of the infill is the same as unit 6981. This is a storage pit that is located parallel to the wall (6907), however it seems that this wall is earlier than the pit and these two are unrelated. It is ca 0,25 m deep and its basal boundary is a level of the floor (unit 7013). This infill is ca 1.2 m wide and it goes through the whole trench (it is ca 5 m long). Beneath its western part a compact feature made of clay (hearth) has been found. A large number of fragments of large storage vessels as well as loom weighs and oil lamp indicate that we are dealing with a floor of unspecified building/storage facility.
