Unit 8901

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: bricky layer; rubble 

Data Category Information: In Situ: non in-situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick&mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 5,30 x 0,60 x 0,22 

Discussion: This is a layer containing a large number of constructional material such as fragments of broken bricks,mortar and plaster. Size and position of bricks vary considerably. The layer was formed as a result of destruction of the wall. In its eastern part it is placed on the ashy layer which appears to be a constinuation of units 7898 and 8904. Basal boundary in its western part is more difficult to distinguish. Interestingly, in central part the layer seems to seat on top of the wall oriented S-N.
