Unit 3530 

Category: layer    dug in 1999
 
Area: Bach 
 
Interpretive Categories: midden,roof collapse 
 
Data Category Information: none
 
Discussion: Removal of collapsed debris in the central position of space 86 and southwards from there. This unit is bonnded by the screen wall on its west and by the collapsed roof edge on its north. Towards the East it ends at the platform (F. 170) and in the South it runs to Platform (F. 169). These are deposits in which were : fire installation (F. 159). Bukranion (unit 3524) , 2 skulls (unit 3529). These collapsed deposits comprise roof tumble in large quantities. In the vicinity of the screen wall there are brick fragments and stripy-rooflike materials which were heavily burned. Some of them in oxidizing and some in reducing atmosphere. In this area there are also remains of large bones: horn, large vertebrae fragment. As we went South from this area there was more ash & charcoal as well as smaller bones mixed in the deposits. It looks as though there is mixing of roof and midden remains. At this point we closed the unit and will open another one. 
 
Recognition: Typical roof deposits; color from orangish to brown + black. 
Definition: Boundaries difused, unclear, defined by surrounding features 
Execution: mattock, trowel, leaf trowel. In plan 
Condition: dry

Unit description: Small unit with some cattle but the majority of the bone is of sheep-size animals. 4mm flotation sample ?, flot # 3052 was completely recorded and it also contained some fish. NR 2003: Sample 1 >4mm flotation 100% sorted, recorded as diagnostics and flot frags. It is a small-medium sample consisting mostly of tiny fragments but with a few larger pieces. It is a mixed lot, mostly sheep-size. There is some burning, and surfaces are quite fresh. This looks like relatively primary remains of daily meals, heavily processed. Could be sweepings. One piece each of fish and microfauna. Last number = 57
