Unit 31599

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: infill of a shallow pit within F.7873 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: An infill U.31599 was recorded as a deposit accumulated in the cut U.32000. They both were exposed after exploration of ca.10cm of overlying infill U.31555 that sealed huge cut U.31554. Due to All of the mentioned units were placed within the extensive truncation in Western part of the B.132 they had been combined as one feature F.7873.
The Infill 31599 reminded in composition the layer 31555, and in that circumstances they both might be regarded as one deposit. However, distinct outline of the cut U.32000 that encircled the sediments required assignation of separate unit number to record and conceive the nature of all of the activities that took place in the described part of the Sp.531.
Comparing the overlying U.31555, one might be stated that the deposit U.31599 contained higher proportion of plaster elements, that could be fragments of destroyed nearby platform and all of the inclusions were embedded in sandy-silt environment.

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.
