| Discussion: This is a very distinct , silty and compact layer, that was recognised in the 2004 excavation season. It was not dig until this year as the works were focused on the western part of the trench. The layer was originally definded as a roof, as it was clearly result of some kind of occupational activity. Futhermore understanding of the deposit proved to be very different as it is placed diagonally with the slope facing East. W e can almost be sure that the current position of the layer is due to some kind of post-depositional processes, probably earthquake. During excavation of the entire structure, it turned out and that is pretty homogeneous and made of horizontally placed a large number of strations made of silt and charcoal. Its thickness differed considerably from 0.29 in the north to 0.12 in the south. In southern- central part of the layer a fragment of floor of considerably size was identified along with fragment full of organic. It is worth stressing that its entire deposit contained a small number of inclusions mostly small animal bones and pottery. As the final interpretation of this unusual deposit remain unclear is no doubt that it was found as a result of long-lasting process related to its occupation. |
