Unit 32518

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: surface 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: raised area (platform); Material: mix (dark grey&white)

Description: A composite deposit comprised of a truncated plaster surface c. 2.00m x 0.20m x 0.01 worn away along western edge and the formation deposit for this surface c. 2.00m x 0.50m x 0.02m. The palster was a fine, white grey marl plaster, the formation a friable silt caly with frequent irregular, angular medium sizaed(c. 50mm x 30mm) fragments of fired clay. Basal boundary irregular in that the lower deposit 32520 had itself eroded away in patches, notably to the east of the Platform F7952, exposing its own formation layer. The interface between these two rubble layers was uneven and to some extent arbitrary, being extrapolated from the more certain basal boundary with the plaster surface of 32520. 

Discussion: Late surface of Platform F.7952. The irregular basal boundary, and the slope towards wall F7712 at the east of Platform F7952, may suggest that 32518 may have been a re-surfacing of the platform to mitigate erosion.

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded
