Unit 17540

Category: Layer    dug in 2008

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Structural timber 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: building

Dimensions: 0.30m x 0.14 m (post) 

Discussion: Large structural timber part of a wattle and daub structure F6050 in the NW corner. 1011.92 was the highest point prior to removal of dendro sample which was 0.17m deep.

Additional info 2012:
Excavated 2012, 20 litre dry sieved, 30 litre unsieved.
Remaining part of partly excavated, burnt post, In top mostly charcoal with burnt plaster at the edges. Further down the layer was mixed with ashes and more and more brown, humus like, soft silt. Bits of charcoal lay all way to the bottom. The loose layer was easy to distinguish from surrounding layer. The stratigraphical sequence was what you could expect from a burnt post. /SH

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.
