Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Levelling layer 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 1.00 x 1.00 m 

Description: See 2502/2558
description copied from 2558 

Discussion: Levelling layer- same as 2502/2558; No samples taken given the nature of the excavation unit as proper flotation and archive samples can be taken when the main layer is removed. 

Execution: Pick and trowel. 

Condition: Cool and breezy. 

Consistency: variable - firm to weak 

Colour: highly variable - finer grained, less mixed material 2.5 Y light olive brown, but mixed material basically darker 2.5 Y 4/4 olive brown, but with dark grey and orange brown mottling 

Texture: variable, but mostly a sandy silty loam 

Bedding: highly variable - in some areas massive with poorly sorted mixed material, but there are also areas of massive, finer grained, less mixed material. however, in some of the mixed areas fine tip lines of material were visible 

Inclusions: mud brick frags <50mm <5%; occasional plaster/mortar lumps <60mm <2%; occasional scattered flecks of charcoal <30mm <2%;

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.
