Unit 11103

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: wall (Mud Brick + Morter) 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick&mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 4m N-S X 0.25/30 E-W X 0.2m (see plan & sketch) 

Description: FAST TRACK 

Discussion: The Western wall of space 233 apparently went through at least two phases, or perhaps a later construction. When we were removing infill 11102 and trying to follow the plaster to define the walls of the space we soon realized that the first couple of mud brick courses were likely to be a laster construction, placed above the mud brick, protruding 4cm to the west. These courses of mud brick and morter are realted to what is happening in the southern wall of the space, f1801.

Depth and volume estimated in PX. Unclear how much of this unit (if any) was dry sieved (DE 2009) 

Recognition: recognized as the western wall of sp. 233/bld 46. 2 courses of mudbrick were slumping over the plastered wall surface of an earlier wall 

Definition: defined by its color--orangish light brown mud bricks and light greyish brown mortars that re up to an earlier wall 

Execution: trowel 

Condition: dry and very cold 

Consistency: Mud brick: firm. Morter: firm 

Colour: Mud brick: orangish light brown. Morter: light greyish brown 

Texture: Mud brick: silty clay loam. Morter: silty clay loam with ash 

Bedding: Mud brick: massive. Morter: massive 

Inclusions: Mud brick: specks of charcoal (<2%), phytolith specks (10%), small pieces of clay appregates (<2%). Morter: same as mud brick, but with a lot of ash and more charcoal (10%) 

Post-depositional Features: Mud brick: foot holes, insect/animal activity. Morter: animal, insect and plant activity 

Basal Boundary: Mud Brick: sharp. Morter: sharp

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
