Unit 22765
Category: Layer dug in 2015
Area: TPC
Interpretive Categories: infill between plastered walls of building 133
Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous
Discussion: This unit 22765 was opened to excavate the floor layer 22765 between the plaster lines of building 133. Phytolith samples were taken from outside the plaster line and inside as advised by labs. A few grains were also collected and entered for carbon dating to try and understand the stratigraphy of floor layer 22765. Two X finds were recorded, a bone awl and what appeared to be worked clay but this was later thought to be a stone but was entered anyway as a precaution. After a small period of excavating it was apparent that the rubble foundation layer extended up to half of the floor northwards so a decision was made to stop excavating and start unit 22767 to excavate this layer.
