Unit 3379

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floors,infill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: occupation; Deposition: composite (floor/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Dimensions: 1 m E-W x 0.9 m N-S, 0.04 m thick 

Discussion: This is a lighter coloured layer underneath (3344). During the excavation it was understood that the layer sloped down. The ridge that came out during the excavation of (3344 dissapeared during the excavation of (3379), just leaving a very thin wall on the NE part of the space. This layer actaully joined with (3343) so this deposit is a small deposit within the layer of that has a lighter colour and was most probably formed during the formation of (3343).

(june 2000- re interpreted as floors (sf)).
