Unit 11008

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: midden,Pit fill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit; Deposition: heterogeneous

Description: FAST TRACK 

Discussion: The eastern portion of this unit's fill began to be excavated as unit 11006, whereas the western portion, harder to define, initially, began to be excavated as unit 11005 (combined pit fill material and surrounding material). This unit, now fairly well defined, we began to excavate in the northern half, in order to get a rough profile of the dimensions and composition of the pit fill.

FAST TRACK

EXCAVATED 17/07/04 

Recognition: Continuation of pit revealed at higher area (11006) -- sediment is distinctive from surrounding fill 

Definition: Surrounded by sediments of different color, density, and inclusions 

Execution: Use of trowel and hoe to remove significant portions, some brushing for better definition 

Condition: Slightly damp soils due to rainshowers of 16/07/04 

Consistency: Loose in upper elevation of unit, friable at lower elevation 

Colour: Reddish beige 

Texture: Clayey loam 

Bedding: Massive 

Inclusions: burned clay, charcoal, bone, obsidian 

Post-depositional Features: Bioturbation (minor) due to a few small root systems and animal burrowing 

Basal Boundary: Arbitrary -- depth of 27 cm

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  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
