Unit 3719

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: bricks,mortar 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick&mortar; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: length 1.7 m; width 0.20-0.27 m 

Discussion: Under the layer which was found below the sandy bricks it was revealed a mortar and brick rows. But W of the bricks (W edge of the unit) was infill material. Bricks were dark brown. This unit include some infill material which looked like a small pit. It was found bone, charcoal, and burnt ashy building materials in two small pits (infill material). But it was not given a different unit number and joined to same unit number. When we reached an orangish material in section we stopped to dig, the most important problem is to distinguish (separate) the walls from each other. This feature number of the walls can change. There is a whitish grey material which looks like a thick layer plaster on E part of the unit and between wall 253 and 259. In the second step this layer which is called "fill" was going to dig to understand the section between these two walls (look at unit no 3742).
The E part of the unit is very important to understand the section between walls, features and units.

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded
