Surfaces

Surfaces are horizontal layers characterized by having upper and lower marked boundaries and are generally compacted so that they are easy to expose. We distinguish between floors and pavements. A floor is compacted by the walking by of people. It is characterized by different inclusions. We can have pebble floors, sherd floors, a mixture of both, or simply compacted earth. We can observe the horizontal laying of sherds. Floors are associated with structures and testify their use.

Floors compacted with lot of small components as pebbles and sherds lying flat, limited at least from one side from walls: f129, f140, f157, f239, f240, f273, f277, f171, f184, f286, f303, f312. Floors compacted with few small components of small pebbles and sherds not bonded by walls: f46, f67, f147, f154. In the foto to the right is possible to see a sequence of floors in J6 in front of the betili of the staircase wall and the staircase whith a long sequence of floors. See also deposition and typology for interpretation.
