Unit 13079

Category: Layer    dug in 2006

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

Data Category Information: Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 5 x 4 x 0.09 

Discussion: This is some sort of occupation level situated under Building 62. It contains elements indicative of its use as well as debris of variety sort of in particular elements of buildings destruction.
Two hearths were noticed in eastern part of the level and recorded as units 13072 and 13074. They appear to be used earlier than the formation of this infill layer. Concentrations and clusters of rubble was located in various parts of the entire surface (u. 13073, 13076, 13082, 13078, 13071). They may have originated from the roof colapse. Phytolits were present within the infill in great abundance. Their preliminary analysis indicates the presence of elements of roofing material in this infill. Basal boundary was very irregular and was partly arbitrary. In NW corner underneath the unit, a clay layer was noticed and recorded as unit 13505.

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.
