Unit 30438

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: brick marker of burial 

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

Discussion: During our excavation we recognized this layer as a separate unit, because of the brick markers which were quite crumbled and eroded. It seem to protrude into the S- W edge of trench. In finding the W extent of the wall. The burial which we already defined proceeded into the late period. Infill included brick material and this feature (f. 7350) was actually built below the orange layer extent to the southern excavating area. It's bricks were packed inside fill. Between three course of bricks we recognized mortar which joins all bricks belonging to the same marker course. We removed all of these three courses of bricks. The size of bricks ranged in their length, width and thickness between 0.25m- 0.28m (in length), 0.17m- 0.20m (in width), 0.06m- 0.08m (thickness).

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.
