Unit 13522

Category: Layer    dug in 2007

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: midden 

Data Category Information: Location: in abandoned building; Deposition: coarsely bedded (dumps)

Dimensions: 4.20 x 3.80 x 0.18 m 

Discussion: The layer [13522] was under units 13508, 13505, 13059 and it covered the whole North part of the area excavated in 2006. The infill was limited by walls from the East [13085, 13524] and from the West by the Mellaart trench. Its south part was truncated by later cut (see plan 06/324) on top of the unit [13522], in its central part there was uncovered destroyed domed oven placed in cut13513. Therefore, the layer reminds functionally the unit above [13509] where many hearths were discovered. This implies a kind of fire activities going on in this place. The layer comprised of dark grey loose silty sand with well visible aggregates of charcoals (abundance 5%). In South part of the unit in its lower level a few clusters of broken bricks and other elements of superstructure were sporadically recovered. The base of the unit was very sharp and easy to define. Infill mostly lay on very wavy in form, yellowish firm layer sloping towards E.

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.
