Category: layer    dug in 1996

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: midden 

Data Category Information: Location: external; Deposition: coarsely bedded (dumps)

Dimensions: 0.7m x 0.5m x0.06m + 1.60m x 1.08m x0.09m 

Discussion: Small area of midden deposits, probably comprising of several layers, which was isolated from other layers by the 1995 sondage. It was later decided that the area to the south was part of the same layer and the details were added to the pan and context sheet. The larger area of this layer built up against a wall to the South and is cut to the west by 1043. Possibly disturbed by Mellaart to the East. Dry Sieve Information: Unknown if any dry seive
