Unit 8991

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: layer,midden 

Data Category Information: Location: roof (building); Material: brick

Dimensions: 5.1 x 3.9 x 0,19 

Discussion: This is another layer of constructional material deposited on the top of the Neolithic roof. It is considerably heterogenous and is composed of large number of destroyed fragments of mudbricks, mortar and painted plaster. The material is scattered randomly across the layer. However, there were two concentrations of those elements in N and SW part of the unit.
The latter is probably associated with bricky layer recorded as unit 8992. Interestingly, the layer contains more archaeological material , particular animal bones, than layer above (unit 7880). Its basal parts are more midden - like. The unit was defined arbitrary as 15 cm thick layer.

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.
