Unit 11010

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:
Continue to remove fill of feature 1751 N. half. Finish at 0.76 m from surface. Clayey level appearing. May be base. Filled with gravelly material. Some large pieces of burned clay, some still left against outer wall (for safety). Walls are very undercut, very compact matrix toward base, especially in E. half. Material at lower 15 cm of unit very compact and clayey.

FAST TRACK

TDV calc. from dims 

Recognition: Continuation of pit feature 1751 revealed at higher levels (11006, 11008)-- 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: Some dampness due to rainshowers of 16/7/04 

Consistency: Friable to firm 

Colour: Reddish beige-- mottled 

Texture: Clayey loam 

Bedding: Layered, discontinuous bedding (unit is mottled) 

Inclusions: Mud brick, bone, charcoal, ash 

Post-depositional Features: Some bioturbation due to small root systems and animal burrowing; compaction
