Unit 21327

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: remains of f1484 after erosion 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: floor (packing only); Material: plaster; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: F1484 was previoulsy described as a platform in 2006, but plaster remains against the wall seem more likely to have belonged to a floor than to a platform.

U.21327 was excavated until a make up material believed to be part of infill u.30539 gradually appeared beneath the surface.

Although f1484 was heavely eroded at the time of excavation, there appears to have been at least 3 layers of plaster + make up covering a slightly thicker make up layer. 

Consistency: friable top 1 cm, else firm 

Colour: medium brown "platform" area + dark brown make up ; tan plaster + brown make up "floor" 

Texture: silty clay 

Bedding: compound layered "platform" + make up ; layered floor, plaster and make up layers 

Inclusions: plaster nodules in make up, medium and small 20% 

Post-depositional Features: minor roots disturbance 

Basal Boundary: constructional, gradual appearance of floor make up material below "platform"

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.
