Unit 16833

Category: Layer    dug in 2008

Area: Trench 5 

Interpretive Categories: room fill 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: E-W 0.8m N-S 0.75m depth up to 0.8m 

Discussion: Fill of space between walls. The walls in the south and west = f 2425/2408 were visible in the beginning, those in the north and east= f 5054/5057 became clear while removing the unit.
When reaching the bottom of the unit we discovered we had taken out the upper part of two other walls= f 5055/5056. Unit 16833 therefore contains roomfill and parts of the walls 5055 and 5056.

After noticing this, w finished the unit and started a new one= 16859, which is only roomfill.
