Unit 11900

Category: Cluster    dug in 2005

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: bin fill 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: bin; Material: seeds; Deposition: primary deposition

Dimensions: 85 x 40cm 

Discussion: these upper bin fill contains several discrete concentrations of what appears to be mainly (charred) barley grain. In discussion with Doru Bogdan the decision was taken to dig this upper field as a single unit and to take each barley concentration as a separate sample within it (see list of S1 - S4). These 'pockets' of barley were apparent amongst lumps of burnt building material in the upper bin fill.
Once this barley samples were removed and the whole area cleaned, new (different) concentrations of charred plant remains became apparent, and a new unit was created in order to excavate these. 

Recognition: identified as the fill of the bin 

Definition: defined by the walls of the bin 

Execution: trowel and brush 

Consistency: fairly loose/ friable 

Colour: varied from black (concentrations of chared plant remains) to orange/red 

Texture: silty clay 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: mostly barley grains, some whole (see discussion) 

Post-depositional Features:  

Basal Boundary: Flat - concave in places where barley 'pockets' remained (see sample details)

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
