Unit 1068

Category: layer    dug in 1996

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: room fill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 0.75m x 0.20m x 0.70m (to 1.05) 

Discussion: Removal of deposit(s) equivalent to 1052/1053/1063 against north section of space 106 (cutting back in the NW corner to confirm that the wall sat on the fill deposits. This slot reveals the brick courses of the wall sloping down from east to west sitting on hard bricky make up in turn overlying the fill deposits removed as 1052, 1053 and 1063. The upper make up lacks a clear basal boundary and may represent compression and drying out of the upper fill layers. 

Execution: hand pick and tgrowel 

Condition: hot and sunny 

Consistency: firm / compact but friable or loose patches, particularly around the 'edges' of putative cut 

Colour: 10YR 4/2 - 5/2 (dark greyish brown) 

Texture: silty clay loam 

Bedding: Massive but not homogenous 

Inclusions: c2% charcoal < 20mm, c5% distinct lumps of mudbrick < c100mm, < 2% plaster fragments, <2%thin flat lumps of possible coprolite 

Post-depositional Features: moderate roots and burrows, especially by wall to the east. 

Basal Boundary: arbitrary

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded
