Unit 20260

Category: Layer    dug in 2012

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: wall mortar 

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

Dimensions: EW 1.1m x NS 0.4m x depth 0.11m 

Discussion: This mortar is part of the late period wall feature 3944. It is thought to be post-neolitic in origin because of its style, color, and stratigraphic position. The mortar is relatively sterile, with no artifacts recovered. This wall is in a place of multiple later mudbrick constructions in the south part of trench 2 (some are beneath this feature).
