Unit 19486
Category: Layer dug in 2012
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: arbitrary layer - midden
Data Category Information: Deposition: finely bedded
Dimensions: 1.2m NS x 2.6m EW x 0,5 deep
Discussion: A test trench (c. 1x1m) was made 10-7-2012 in the midden layer, in building 108, to clarify the relation between the walls (F.3624 and F. 3623). The midden layer continued under the wall F.3624. Continued excavating the unit in the midden 14-7-2012, in the area east of the test trench, until the edge of the cut to the east (cut U.20414). Both areas were excavated down to a layer of clay that sloped to the north and the east. The midden was very rich in finds, mainly bones and obsidian, but also clay objects. It seemed like clay objects like mini horns and mini clay balls were mainly found in the upper half of the unit.
