Unit 11740

Category: Layer    dug in 2005

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

Data Category Information: Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 1.40 x 0.50 x 0,09 

Discussion: It is a second level of an infill of the space 248. The level above was excavated as unit 10986 and the exploration was finished when all the human bones exposed in this unit were lifted. The infill underneath was defined as unit 11740.

There were some fragments of plaster (unit 11769) recorded in the top of this infill in the SE corner of space 248. They could have come from destroyed layer of plaster. Underneath, there was a small layer of 11740 and then a hard layer interpreted as a neolithic floor (11770). In this part 11740 was present as a tiny layer.

The layer cosisted of small pieces of rubble - in contrast to layer 11751 (to the N from 11740) which consisted of big pieces of rubble. 

Recognition: the layer on whic bones in space 248 were placed - the layer after lfting the bones is infill 11740

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded
