Unit 23918
Category: Layer dug in 2017
Area: TPC
Interpretive Categories: constructional/moulding
Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous
Discussion: It was a very homogenous layer consisting of clay moulding and two small bricks. It was moulded around S and W edges of the platform (narrow moulding on the W edge of the platform, brick-wide moulding on the S edge of the platform). It seems that the purpose of the layer was to strengthen the constructional layer (u. 23912) which was much looser in consistency.
The SW corner of this layer was constructed of two bricks placed one on another with hardly any mortar between them (there was no separate unit for the mortar). The remaining part of the layer was formed as a continuous clay moulding.
