Unit 7897

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: layer,midden 

Data Category Information: Location: external

Dimensions: 3.20 x 1.70 x 0,07 

Discussion: This is a homogenous dark layer placed eastward from unit 7880. It hardly contains any constructional material and as such is markedly different from the latter. It is possible that it is a midden, and is a continuation of midden deposits located above. The unit is younger than unit 7880 as the layer getting underneath which results in its beings shallower as we were getting down. (See plan 04/810 as compared with 03/144, 03/143).
