Unit 22357

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Bin walls 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: bin; Material: plaster; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: In the north east of Sp. 565 there was a very well preserved part of the bin wall, but in the south the walls were much eroded and probably collapsed. As a result of this, some plaster was inside the bin as infill. The thickness and the highness of the walls was different depending how eroded they are, so for example in the E was around 0.03 to 0.06 m, and in the south was only 0.2 cm thick. The same happens with the high, almost 0.72 m in the NE, around 0.05 in the W and only 0.02 in the south. Although that was possible to see almost the complete bin, we was missing the E end, because is under the profile section that we exposed.
The transition to underlying bin base was at times very vague and difficult to recognize. I finished the infill excavation when was possible to see a thin layer of plaster connected with the bin walls. The bottom of the bin was made with a very thin dirty layer of plaster.
Anyway below the bin wall U22365 was visible the remains of another plaster layer impossible to recognize during the excavation. In that case, we decide to give it a unit number to this layer (U22361) although we have not excavated because was defining two different phases of use. To more clear explication and relationship see the feature.

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded
