Unit 4711
Category: layer dug in 1999
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: pit fill
Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: posthole; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit
Dimensions: 0.84m+ w-e, 0.6m+ n-s, 0.68m deep
Discussion: Fill of pit [4712], quite homogenous and relatively sterile material. It is not simply the material the pit was cut through thrown in but looks like building fill derived from elsewhere.
Recognition: not clayey / banded like surroundings
Definition: pit edges
Execution: trowel
Condition: moist
Consistency: firm
Colour: mottled - light brown to mid greyish brown
Texture: mixed - mainly silty clay
Bedding: massive
Inclusions: occasional charcoal flecks, small / medium bone frags, odsidian, clay ball, stone. Occasional plaster lumps
Post-depositional Features: truncated on north by deep sounding
Basal Boundary: distinct, anthropogenic, smooth, sloping in to centre

Unit description: Flot sample 2791 (2) (3) Also 205 l dry sieved Pit fill from a large pit on the west side of space 181. Cut from 4710 (?). The colour is light to medium dark brown, but with little of the very dark staining. There are a relatively large number of 03 and 05 size ribs as well as pig and sheep/goat teeth and foot bones. Comparing the flotation samples, sample 2 (2791) from the top of the pit looks like house infill. Sample 3 and the dry sieved material on the other hand are much more like modest butchery/consumption related discards. Tip fragment of point with modern breaks apparently found in screens. Last number = 67Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
