Interpretive Categories: Infill within structural cut U.21163 

 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: ditch; Deposition: heterogeneous

 

Discussion: Heterogeneous fill with substantial gypsum reprecipitation. The deposit slopes markedly towards the W to meet the edge of the hearth F.7345. It is probable that this unit is the same as U.21358, judging from the depth, the texture, and the consistency of this deposit, although no physical connection between the two is visible.

This unit is limited by a thick (ca.10cm width and up to 7cm depth) white plaster ridge towards the S and the E.

Under this deposit lies a thin grey plaster floor that lips up towards the plaster ridge, therefore stating their contemporaneity. Towards the N lies another unit of packing material, separated from the floors by a thin ridge of white plaster. This was probably the packing used for the installation of the hearth F.7607.
