Unit 23142

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Fill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit

Description: Fill for the cut 

Discussion: Unit exposed after remove the layer U23139 a redeposit midden, placed as the upper fill of the cut U23147.
This unit correspond a thin layer, around 0.13 m thick that belongs to one of the fills of the cut. Was placed in the central part of that pit and deposit sloping in direction E-W. This layer was very, very compact compost basically for clay and silt with no other intrusions visible. It was light orange, the coloration was a bit brighter in the upper part and more yellowish in the bottom. Even this difference in the coloration the deposit was removed as a unique unit. In the sides this layer was thinner than in the central part, and it extended form the eastern side of the pit until the middle, so belongs to probably a fast event of deposition.

We want to notice that this layer had been partially excavated properly only in the southern part of the building (2,9 m x 1,6 m). In the northern part, the rest of the remains had been removed with the arbitrary layer U23155.
