Unit 30297

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: bricks of wall 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: This unit was initially recognized in the 2012 season, although its full extent was not realized until after the excavation of u.30246 (the occupation layer/destruction deposit) associated with building 120. It represents a layer of post-Neolithic mud-bricks, grey in color and extremely compact, packed up against irregular, sloping terracing cut [30229]. Some of them on the Western half were extremely burnt. This wall (these bricks) were once covered with a layer of wall plaster which helped us identify this construction as post-Neolithic. The unit was excavated with mattock and spade.

Post-depositional Features: burning, collapse, erosion, animal burrows

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.
