Unit 32794

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: packing that formed the bench F.7879 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: raised area (platform); Material: re-used brick&mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: The thick constructional pack U.32794 composed mostly of the reused building material (such as bricks and mortar) had been used to mold the desired form of the Bench F.7879. The undertaking had been conducted directly on the surface of the leveling deposit U.32761 that was laid down to prepare the area for occupation within Sp.531. Setting the primary form of the bench provided further white coating (plaster - U.32784) the protruded, rectangular feature. Worth noticing is that from stratygraphical point of view the bench-packing restricted the primary dirty sediment U.32793 whose accumulation was related with the constructional phase of the Sp.531. The latter, highlights early origins of the feature which must have been set during the mentioned stage.

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.
