Unit 7870

Category: layer    dug in 2003

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: layer,rubble of bricks 

Data Category Information: Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 2.40 x 1.50 x 0,21 

Discussion: This is a layer consisting of fragmented and destroyed mid brown and light brown mudbricks. IT is placed almost directly at the top of a compact layer of clay and silt interpreted either as a floor or roof of the Neolithic building. It is SE part of a larger bricky layer (units 7813 and 7864). The unit contains destroyed constructional elements of the building. At this point it is not certain whether these are fragments of a collapsed wall and/or roof placed in situ or constructional debris used to level the surface of the ground.
