Unit 16482

Category: Layer    dug in 2008

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: burnt fill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: The layer was incredibly soft and silty lacking the fragment chunks of burnt brick in [16479]. The upepr most part of this layer was removed when the horn core (X1 of 16749) was removed. The layer sealed an ashy layer that is right on top of the platform, the peas are likely from this layer.

Definition: clear 

Execution: trowel 

Condition: cool and windy
