Unit 3582
Category: layer dug in 1999
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: fire instalation
Data Category Information: none
Discussion: Ash is ca 5 mm thick in roughly circular area maybe dug slightly into floor but basicaly is lying directly on the floor and grades directly into burt floor, esp. into circular ares. At first I thought it was a fire instalation, now I am not so sure. The burning seems to be ??? in 2 circular areas, one 10 cm in N, the other 15 cm diam. Then we thought it might be a post hole - but in the middle of sp.86 (?). Is it under the bukranion + roof.
