Unit 10488

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: grave fill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: burial; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.68m EW x 0.44m NS x 0.13m deep 

Description: Fast track 

Discussion: As mentioned overleaf (10488) was not clearly defined until layer (10478)was removed. This was done out of strategraphic order but contamination between (10488) and (10474) was not an issue as the clear definition between both deposits became obvious upon excavation.
Removal of (10488) revealed the remains of an infant burial, skeleton (10495) and (11300). 

Recognition: only clearly recognised after the removal of layer (10474) ie out of strategraphic order, due to the heavy disturbance caused to the feature by animal burrows and F1524 

Definition: clearly defined after the removal of layer (10474) distinctly different to (11300) and the surrounding layers and midden deposits 

Execution: trowel, brush, handshovel 

Condition: dry and sunny 

Consistency: soft 

Colour: dark brown 

Texture: sandy silt 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: very frequent salt flecks throughout the fill, occ charcoal 

Post-depositional Features: badly truncated on the eastern side by animal burrows and F1514 

Basal Boundary: clearly defined on the north, west and south. More diffuse on the east

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.
