Unit 30879

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: edge of platform 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: raised area (platform); Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: The unit was recognised as an edge of platform (F.3873). It was located in southern part of Trench 4. From the East, it got truncated by the so-called oak posthole (F.3870), most likely the ladder placement. Only the northern and eastern part of the platform edge got preserved. It is possible that also the western one survived, which reveals relations to the earlier platform (F.8284). It was burnt in the middle of its northern part, which most likely is connected with two ovens, earlier (F.3871) and later (F.8278). Its NE corner was deliberately cut off in order to take away a complete vessel placed beneath in a dedicated pit. In its eastern side, the unit had different colour and texture and was mostly made of orange clayish sand. No finds in this unit.
