Unit 2521

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: grave fill,part of platform 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: burial; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: v. small patch of deposit - removed by mattock, but prob. no more than 0.2 m x 0.1m 

Discussion: This little block of fill contained a disarticulated human foot (2520), but as it was so similar to platform makeup deposit 2514 it was mattocked out along with this other material. Though partially derived from 2514, this deposit must be a remnant of grave fill, perhaps derived from burial 38. 

Execution: mattock, shovel, trowel 

Condition: warm, dry 

Consistency: weak 

Colour: very mixed, but basically a 10yr 5/4 yellowish brown, with mottles of darker greyer material 

Texture: sandy silty loam 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: frags of mudbrick (<30 mm <5%), flecks of charcoal (<5%), frags and traces of crushed plaster (2%) 

Post-depositional Features: some salt deposition 

Basal Boundary: unknown, but as material=so similar to 2514 the interface was presumably not very clear, otherwise (hopefully!) the original excavator should have defined it.

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.
