Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: dump of burnt? Material 

Data Category Information: Description: fire spots (non-structured); Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: ´Crust´ of material for the most part overlying plaster floor surface though at South end it was overlying a semi-circular shaped layer (8077) - maybe associated with colour and charoal flecks suggest burning - but not in-situ - more like a dump of material or collapse? Jamie didn´t excavate here last year - need to check Greek records to see if they might help in interpretation of this layer

Associated with underlying ´hearth´? Remains?
Destruction of ´hearth´feature??
