Unit 3340

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: mixed; Deposition: composite (floor/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Dimensions: 1.48 m E-W x 1.4 m N-S, depth c. 0.6 cm (thin) 

Discussion: Upper ? floor in mid-north part of building 2. Up to 4 layers of floor visible in cut section, but hard to distinguish during excavation and several layers may have come off, especially SW corner, where the layers dip into the baulk, some sort of depression (pit or edge of structure?
Frags. of oven debris in dip S edge of unit, similar to (2800)/(2295)/(2819) but less frequent, perhaps the far edge of the same event? Ie Roddys assumption that oven debris was beneath floor (3340) seems accurate.
Surface flat, levelled + possibly contaminated. 

Recognition: Plaster layers in baulk + cut sections, levelled surface. 

Definition: Defined by baulks + cut the the E (post hole). 

Execution: Layer by leaf trowel.

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.
