Unit 20206
Category: Layer dug in 2012
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: packing deposit
Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: between walls; Material: re-used brick&mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous
Dimensions: 3,90 x 1,80 x 0,08- 0,1
Discussion: The unit was allocated during the post-excavation stage, involved with studying stratygraphy of the semi-section established along the grid E-915. As a result of registration of different consistency and colour within upper part of the u. 20206, a decision was made to divide the latter deposit on two separated units. Consequently, the packing layer must have been related with activities aiming to stabilize the northern wall [F.7052] of space 470, that was erected on foundation layer [20254] - without a foundation cut. Therefore the packing [20206] comprised mainly of homogeneous light-orange brick material which was dumped deliberately all over the space.
The unit was not fully excavated due to the above mentioned Eastern limit set on the arbitrary semi-section line .

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.
