Unit 3592

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: pit fill 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 0.27 x 0.21m 

Discussion: Fill of central cut in SW platform of sp. 86.
From the first scrape it was hard to find exact edges of the cut, especialy on the N end. It was decided to half section the unit and excavate the S-more clearer edn. After excavating about 3 cm, 2. central, well defined cut was uncovered and easily followed, except for the bottom which was not distinctive/not reached (less likely?). From the profile it was decided to excavate on the N side ??? a distinct upper cut of dark, more crumbly soil. The soil, except for an occasional layer/ lens of clay was typical yellow/green fill type material w/ occasional charcoal bits. 

Recognition: light yellowish spot of dirty soil in otherwise pinkish floor fill/ white plaster surface 

Definition: central stepped cut was distinct, the overall cut was v. diffuse/ hard to follow 

Execution: half sectioned and then brought down 

Condition: moist 

Consistency: firm and fine w/ some lenses of moist, sticky clay 

Colour: range from 10YR 6/6 to thick clay like layers of 10YR 3/2 

Texture: sandy clay w/ lenses of clay 

Bedding: massive w/ a few convolute layers of clay 

Inclusions: brick pieces, medium 5%, charcoal small 5%
