Unit 32141

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: midden,pit fill 

Data Category Information: Location: external; Deposition: finely bedded

Discussion: This is a compound midden layer composed of layered ash, charcoal and thin clay deposits. It was rih in phytoliths and other botanics throughout the eastern portion of the unit. This unit accumulated against a clay constructional feature (u32135), but it's eastern boundaries were hard to define due to the general eastward slope, the BACH truncation to the east and the subsequent erosion and trampling.

Dry sieve volume data by grid:
Grid 11-12: S3 120L
Grid 25: S13 15L
Grid 8-9: S23 67L
Grid 23-24: S33 15L 

Consistency: Firm 

Colour: dark gray brown 

Texture: silty clay 

Bedding: layered compound 

Inclusions: charcoal 5-10% ; artefactual 5%; organic and plant remains 10-15% 

Post-depositional Features: animal burrows, insects, trampling, post-neolithic truncation to the northwest and BACH truncation to the east 

Basal Boundary: anthropogenic and sloped eastward at 20 degrees

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.
