Description
- CH05SR0611
- Compact lime bedding surface in room 30
- Irregular upper fill of depressions and level changes in the bedrock under room 30, especially along the NW wall; it consists primarily of small stones and small, chalky fragments of limestone pressed into a compact layer with very little other material; it is particularly visible in two connected patches, one on either side of the door to room 31a; along its longest axis, it extends for ca. 3.5m, and is between 2cm and 7-8cm in thickness (thicker where it covers underlying holes and depressions)
- Plan for this layer and sketch of same in AS notebook do not match -- plan probably needs to be corrected
