Interpretive Categories: mortar 

 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: mortar; Deposition: homogeneous

 

Dimensions: 3.37 x 0.35 x 0.94 m 

 

Discussion: Removed part of the norhern wall (F 3505). In some places the mortar came off easily and in chunks, in others we had to use a mattock or scrape off the mortar. Some pieces appeared burnt on the portion facing out of the building. The upper half of the wall was exposed for years and had to be conserved; the pieces under plaster that had not been exposed were better preserved and easier to define/distinguish. 

 

Recognition: Color, brick & mortar visible 

Definition: Clear in most places 

Execution: Trowel & small mattock 

Condition: Hot, under shelter; cool mornings 

Consistency: Friable to compact 

Colour: Mid to light grey, some brown/black fragments 

Texture: Clay, silty clay 

Bedding: Some parallel layers, mostly massive 

Inclusions: Charcoal, small shell, bones, (likely) some burning 

Post-depositional Features: Portions exposed for years, some decay & conservation 

Basal Boundary:
