Unit 3738

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Brick and Mortar 

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

Dimensions: 2.89 m N-S x 0.31 m E-W x c. 0.1 m thick 

Discussion: Shaving off top brick and mortar of wall 267 in order to reveal a clear layer of either. Some patches s of plaster where wall 267 meets up with wall 286, SW corner in space 112. Base of layer consists of a reasonably clear layer of bricks, but in most cases accentuated by cracks in the wall. Wall was initially (1997) over dug, further excavation revealed a curved shape (see sketch) well defined in the North section of space 112. Wall 267 does not appear to be bonded to wall 286, based on clear gap (trowel blade thick) in junction, also 267 bricks continue past 286's West end. But at lower part of wall, c.30 cm from top, bricks changes in colour and walls 286 and 267 are bonded (see brick colour description unit 3727). 

Recognition: Brick and mortar clearly visible. 

Definition: Well defined wall between space 112 and space .. to the West. 

Execution: Trowel. 

Condition: Dry and crumbly. 

Consistency: Dry, crumbly. 

Colour: 10YR6/2 light brownish gray. 

Texture: Fine silty clay. 

Bedding: Layered (brick and mortar).

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.
