Unit 3586
Category: layer dug in 1999
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: Ditch fill
Data Category Information: none
Dimensions: 2.25m x 0.25 m
Discussion: This unit is the yellowish layer mentioned in unit 3552. The yellowish just behind F. 600 is about 5cm deep and it didn't contain many finds. This unit was stopped because we have reached the original wall face of sp. 158.
Recognition: by color and consistency, yellowish
Definition: layer up against F. 600
Execution: excavated by pick axe & trowel
Condition: little moisty, smelt like fresh soil
Consistency: soft, friable
Colour: 10YR 7/3 very pale brown
Texture: silty loam
Bedding: massive - no internal layers
Inclusions: few organic remains, small about 20%
Post-depositional Features: disturbance of anomal holes and organic straining
Basal Boundary: clear wavy antropic boundary

Unit description: There is a small amount from the dry sieve plus a biggish flotation sample from this unit. The dry-sieved material is mostly rather fragmented but includes a big chunk of large mammal rib. There is nearly as much large mammal as sheep-size. There are just three scrappy diagnostics, all sheep/goat: most of a hyoid, a phalanx fragment, and a small burnt fragment of proximal metapodial. No DZs, nothing measurable. Heavy on the ribs in the scrap. Perhaps 40% burnt, some digestion. Surface condition is variable. Looks like dirty fill. Sample 1 >4mm flotation 100% sorted. The sample is larger than the dry-sieved, and perhaps for that reason has more diagnostics, most of them digested. Otherwise pretty similar, although somewhat more in the 3-7 cm range. Perhaps looks more middeny, but still pretty much like dirty fill. One fish bone, and a fragment of human skull with old breaks looking just like the rest of the material in the unit; the human specimen was recorded and pulled. A bit of burnt cattle horn core. Rough DZ count: O/C - 2.5 (all digested). Also a sheep/goat incisor. The >2mm sample has a fox (probably) incisor.
