Unit 21193

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: infill layer 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: This is an infill layer of Building 129 as well as of lower space 504. It has been a heterogenous layer consisting of different materials as well as consistency and colour. At the beginning of exploration it has been thought that it is a burnt infill of lower building (131) but according to unburnt lenses of soil in its western and northern part it has been assumed that it might have been a part of upper Building 129. During later exploration a clear unburnt layer appeared which has been interpreted as preparation layer for foundation layers of B. 129 and therefore we decided to arbitrarily close the unit 21193.

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
