Unit 21368

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Clean grey plaster floors 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation); Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: Stratigraphical sequence comprising three plaster floors (two grey and one white), with their respective orangish-brown make-up. The grey floors represent 1-2mm thickness of finishing coat. The sequence slopes towards the S of the building at approximately 20-25º. The sequence contained only very few finds (obsidian microdébitage and shell fragments), indicating that these floors were probably covered with mats and/or swept regularly. The floors extended beneath the undercut of the S wall, and were cut by U.21163 towards the N of Sp.87. 

Consistency: Soft / Friable 

Colour: Brownish grey (finishing coat) / Orangish brown (make-up) 

Texture: Silty clay 

Bedding: Massive 

Inclusions: None 

Post-depositional Features: Bioturbation (animal burrowing), gypsum reprecipitation 

Basal Boundary: Constructional / anthropogenic, sharp, distinct, iregular, 15-20º slope

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.
