Unit 12963

Category: Layer    dug in 2002

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: floor 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: multiple; Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: series of floors under re-plastering of lip of platform F2214, rising up over second platform to west. Very degraded, especially to west. Appears to be two or three dirty floors.

These floors sit over construction of F2214 and represent the earliest floors associated with this feature. Platform sealed by 5mm thick black grey clay silt floor, possibly an occupation deposit.

NOTE - As floor rises to the west it is degraded and vertically truncated. The northern extent here may represent a truncation not a real edge.

Note: due to concerns of truncation by the planned new shelter, the western extent of the excavation area was extended. This excavation took in the rest of this layer. Dimensions and total deposit volume have been amended., cf plan 06/657. DHB 21/08/06.

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.
