Unit 7691

Category: layer    dug in 2003

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: pit infill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 1.36 x 1.20 x 0,23 

Discussion: The unit 7691 is situated next to the SW corner of the trench. It was difficult to excavate because it was composed of many lumps and lenses of extremely compact clay. The basal boundary of the unit is arbitrary but it consists of many clay structures which may be CBM (damaged bricks?) and it is irregular. In NW part of the unit a small amount of burnt soil has been noticed and a metal object (a ring?) nearby. The unit has slightly changed its boundaries during excavation (which is visible when comparing plans 03/125 and 03/123) but its boundaries have been clearly seen all the time. The coordinates of x2 are not precise.

This feature was transferred to Space 598 in 2015.

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.
