Unit 32510

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: levelling surface 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: white clay; Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation); Basal Spit: unpainted

Description: Intentioanlly excavated out of phase whilst burials within Platform F7952 were removed. Cut from a section line 0.10m west of Platform 7952.

Varying in depth tapering to thinnest point towards centre of B131. 

Discussion: Homogenous, deposited in a single episode. Withou full excavation can not be certain but seems to run up to but not on to Platform F7952. Visual inspection of section showed that 32510 runs underneath 32527. Similarly, a visual inspection of the walls of the cuts of burials F7961 and 7963 showed that 32510 doesn't run across the surface of the platfor F7952.

Sealing an earlier rubble deposit and raising the height of the floors of B131 to form a horizon commensurate with later phases of use of the Hearth f7957 and a later use horiron of Platform F7951, both to the south of B131. 32510did not extend westwards enough to determine what if any relationship it had with the features to the west of B31 particularly Platform F7950 and Partition F7990.

Given the depositional characteristics and the homogeneity of 32510, and its relationships with other features of B131 it is likely that 32510 is a levelling 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.
