Unit 20709

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: This is an infill on the floor (31858) in Space 595 located in its NW corner. It is deposited directly on top of a special deposit (20714). This unit comprises a very small section of the infill deposited on this floor in this part of the space as the remaining part was truncated by a large Hellenistic pit (F. 7378). The infill was 0.66 m deep. It was compound layered and was made of numerous internal strations. It is indicative of a long process of the backfilling of the house interior. Only animals bones were found in the infill. The cluster (20714) on the floor (31858) was composed of worked stone, pottery fragments and 2 obsidian points. It's very likely that it was a post abandonment deposit. Althougth most likely subsequent individual layers come from diffrent phases of fiilling up this space, this infill was recognized as one unit because of its small size. It means that it was contemporaneous to a number of corresponding infill units in central and northern part of the space (31815, 31834, 31842, 31851)
