Unit 8984

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: mating 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 1.55 x 0.80 x 0,27 

Discussion: It is a mating situated in N part of an extension between 3 walls (units 8987, 7830, 6952). The mating was very destroyed by rodent barrowings. There were several layers of mating - one on another however only one was well preserved.
The mating was placed on the solid floor (unit 8986) - on which 3 large stones were situated - and was backed against directly on 3 walls with one exception. In en E corner of the mating a layer between walls 8987 and 6952 was found, on which the mating was backing against.
In some parts on the mating which were the best preserved, the crossings of wearing were distinguishable. It was visible the best in SW part of the mating.
The surface of mating was cut by a longitudinal pit (e.g. unit 7825) from W side. The mating itself didn't have the thickness of 27cm, however many minilayers + the differences of slope caused the result of 27cm.
Because the mating was backed against the walls, it was concave.
