Unit 32439

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Pit infill 

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

Discussion: Layer exposed after remove the primary infill U22324 but clearly defined after remove the dirty floor U 32421 (same as U32405) in the SW part of the fire installation area, attached to the south wall of the building. This layer was grey and a bit loose, with a lot of charcoal as a most important intrusion. The presence of it and ashes in the top of the fill, made us think that could be a scoop, but after a few centimetres this fill changes to a very compact and clayish layer, with charcoal but with grey colour. During the excavation of that fill we found a clay object (X1) and also different clay balls in the edges of the pit (X2; X3; X4, X6) and a scapula (X5). This layer was deposit inside the pit following the shape of the cut, which was very slope in direction E-W. That made a bit difficult to expose all the objects at the same time, and since we start to x find them, at the end we decide not give it a cluster number. A part of this materials we find remains of wood and phytolithsl, that we sample (S5 and S6).

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.
