Unit 7813

Category: layer    dug in 2003

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: bricky layer,bricky midden 

Data Category Information: In Situ: non in-situ; Location: external; Material: re-used brick&mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 3.26 x 2.90 x 0,23 

Discussion: This is a destroyed layer composed of a large number of destroyed construction material, in particular fragments of mudbricks. Its formation is not completely clear, however most likely it was created in order to level the surface before construction of two late Neolithic buildings (33 and 34). The unit has small number of artifacts as compared with middens from its western and eastern sides. The midden from its eastern side (unit 7814, 7815) is younger than this bricky layer.
