Unit 10823

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: arbitrary layer,fill 

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

Description: lowermost fill post retrieval pit 1703 FAST TRACK 

Discussion: As I removed the plaster fill 10820 I noticed that the fill of the cut continued below. There appeared to be a brown clay with fine inclusions. I decided to excavate this untill I ran into the same material outside the cut at this level. The matrix is similar to the lower fill deposits visible in the south section (and excavated in 1997 as units 2897/3733; 2890/3361; 2876/3319). Therefore it is clear that this feature does not belong to feature 1703 and the pit was overdug.

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.
