Unit 20165

Category: Layer    dug in 2012

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: mortar 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: building; Material: mortar; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 5.40 x 0.60 x 0.01 m 

Discussion: A mortar placed between bricks of an eastern wall of building B.109 (bricks were given unit number 20164). The mortar was very easily defined by its grey colour and placement between particular bricks and in between the layers of bricks. It is worth mentioning that it contained a lot more material than the bricks It's thickness was ca. 2 cm.
