Unit 2890

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: room fill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 2.8 x 1.75 m 

Discussion: Continuing room fill in space 112, the new layer (2890) was decided on due to a change in colour and soil texture. In general roughly the same type of material as (2876) but with slightly more bone, shell and charcoal + soil is of richer, darker colour and moist "greasy" texture. Also streaks of other colours in parts, white, yelowish brown and dark brown to dark grey (nu Munsell guide used here). Colour change in band along S wall may indicate new underlying wall. Fill almost has a kitchen debris fill to it. 

Recognition: Structural debris infill, change in colour from (1276). 

Definition: 1/2 sectioned in N, against S, W and E walls + cut by (2855). 

Execution: Arbitrary layer by trowel. 

Condition: Moderately dry to moist. 

Consistency: moderately loose 

Colour: 10 YR 4/6 dark yellowish brown 

Texture: silty clay 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: frequent plaster gfrags, building material, occasional charcoal, bone (small to medium) rare shell and hackberrries, frequent salt. 

Post-depositional Features: n/a

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.
