Interpretive Categories: infilling 

 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

 

Dimensions: 0.05 to 0.20 m thick 

 

Discussion: General layer covering all of space 113 apart from the platform, with the exception of some material in the SW and the NE corners. This is the uppermost deposit left by Mellaart. As a result it is in very poor condition and it is almost impossible to see anything. The layer has built up against the side of the platform and so must post-date it. It would appear to be a quite sterile general infilling
