Unit 18134

Category: Cut    dug in 2007

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: pit cut 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: The interface between the clean infilling and the overlying debris was clear and sharp created by a large truncation horizon (18134) cut on a gradual slope. From the south the cut began some 0.2-0.3m in from the south wall and cut at a roughly 45 degree angle to a central depth of c.0.7m and rising up slightly to the north where it ran up to the north wall on a relatively even plane. At this end a cut event was less clear as the subsequent deposits lay directly against the heavily plastered wall face faithfully following the uneven contours. The only indication of a cut suggested by a basal area of mudbrick and large fragments of plaster perhaps an indication of displacement as the cut faithfully followed the internal wall face of the building. The cut was just short of 5.0m, the entire length of Sp.63 but its width extended beyond the trench LOE, it may be assumed though that the cut may have extended over the entire room. This exercise would have provided a rich source of clean clay silt from the infill and as such interpreted as a quarrying event (SF 30/05/11)

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.
