Interpretive Categories: building infill 

 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

 

Dimensions: 1.40 m N-S x 1.30 m E-W x 0.16 m deep 

 

Discussion: Building infill of well mixed homogenous clayey matrix probably predominantly brick material with lots of plaster frags and flecks. Same event as underlying unit which divided off for samples etc. The odd faint and insubstantial lens indicates the fill was deposited in multiple events (i.e. bucket by bucket) but the source is the same. 

 

Execution: small pick and trowel 

Condition: overcast and windy 

Consistency: moderately firm 

Colour: 10 YR 5/4 yellowish brown 

Texture: silty clay 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: 30 % < 1 cm plaster aggregates, 30 % < 2 cm clay/brick aggregates, 2 % < 3 mm carbonised organics, 1 % < 3 cm burnt brick 

Post-depositional Features: mod. root activity 

Basal Boundary: diffuse, shares many characteristics with underlying deposit, basically divided off due to v. faint ashy lense at this horizon to the south, a good place to change number but the same deposit as lower infill, anthropogenic dump/infill.
