Unit 8153

Category: layer    dug in 2001

 

Area: North 

 

Interpretive Categories: fire installation floor,room fill 

 

Data Category Information: none

 

Discussion: This is basically the same material as unit 8146 meaning that it was deposited here as the base for platform extension and fire installations (604 and 752) or the fire installation were dug into it. Under it, we discovered what is most likely a rim of a fire installation and black floor in it and around it.

After removing deposits from unit 8153, a rim of the underlying fire installation (F. 764) became visible.
