Unit 21123

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Infill/levelling layer 

Data Category Information: Location: between walls

Discussion: This unit is the same as u21126. It was first recognized as room infills of spaces 39 and 502. A closer look on the south wall (F3658) and the separating wall (F3659) revealed that it actually was below the wall and should be considered as associated with the infill u20202 (?) of space 40. It has been compacted and evened out it seems. Probably it was filled for levelling the ground in order to build the walls and thus renovate the building.

It was excavated with pick axe. The basal boundary was recognized when an ashy fill appeared (u21151) in somewhat looser soil and softer light sandy silt.

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.
