Unit 3187

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: wall of bin 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: bin; Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.35 m E-W x 0.1 m N-S, 0.04 m thick (max.) 

Discussion: Wall of bin F.257 same as (3196) to E of baulk. It is sitting within bin cut (3352). 

Recognition: Slightly greyer than (3186) which was above it, also contains more salts but very difficult to see interface. 

Definition: Follows line of wall of bin 257, continues into section of baulk in E, on other side of wall it is called (3197). Ends in W where it slopes down dramatically. 

Execution: Trowel, some left unexcavated in section in E. 

Condition: Dry, covered. 

Consistency: very compact 

Colour: 10 YR 7/3 very pale brown. 

Texture: silt 70%, very fine sand 10%, clay 20% 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: 5% salts <2 mm diameter, 2% charcoal flecks <1mm diameter, phytoliths 2%, charcoal and phytolith more frequent towards base 

Post-depositional Features: root action, salts 

Basal Boundary: anthropogenic/abrupt/sloping down to S and E/distinct onto phytolith layer beneath but tends to break off below it disrupts some of this layer

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.
