Unit 3345

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

Data Category Information: Location: between walls; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.26 x 0.09 x 0.199 m 

Discussion: (3345) represents a discrete deposit of soft ashy material that was added between the upper courses of wall [278] and those of [58]. It extended the depth of the upper 5 courses of wall [278] but sat above the lower courses, so seems to have been added to seal the junction of these 2 walls a the top. As the wall [278] slopes considerably towards the West, it may also have fulfilled some supportive function to prevent further slumping. 

Recognition: A softer, shier material between wall [58] and [278] 

Definition: Defined by material difference and salt encrustations 

Execution: trowel and mattock 

Condition: dry and crumbly 

Consistency: friable 

Colour: 2.5 Y 5/3 light olive brown 

Texture: ashy silt 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: 5% charcoal (flecks, small and medium sized pieces);, 2% bone (mostly flecks but one larger piece); 2% plaster (flecks and small pieces); <2% tiny pebbles; <2% burnt clay 

Post-depositional Features: salt encrustation 

Basal Boundary: A sharp, clear basal boundary. (3345) clearly sat above the mortar of [278]. The interface between these was smooth and wavy.

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.
