Unit 20076

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: make-up / patchy layer 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: floor (packing only); Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: This unit was recognized as a succeeding make-up layer revealed in SW corner of building 80. This layer was found underlaying quite thick (1,5-2 cm) white plaster layer (U.20074) and distinguishable mainly by its different colour and more friable consistency of soil than the previously excavated white plaster layer.
It was observed moreover that the thickness of this unit was highly variable. It was especially thin towards the wooden threshold which connecting space 135 with 373.
Similarily to U.20064 it seems to be possible that the higher - thicker part of this layer had been used to raise the height of this part of the floor in order to straighten out different levels.

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.
