Unit 8182

Category: layer    dug in 2001

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: platform floor 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: 2001T430. 14-21

platform floor, removed along with thick packing in the NE corner of platform F.169. That corner appears to end in a basin like fashion, making a nice curve and is surrounding the hearth area from the North. There's a small step-like feature close to the bottom of the basiny floor, and what we hit last is a brownish layer with traces of activity, very thin. Will take that as a separate sample.

Along the northern edge of F.169 we came down to another platform floor layer. After removing upper ( the one we're at) floor and packing underneath. The floor layer we hit has a thin layer of some darkish deposit with what appears to be some salty material (phytoliths?), looks like a film emulsion.
