Unit 7761

Category: layer    dug in 2003

Area: Trench I 

Interpretive Categories: Room fill 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 0,92m x 0,65m 0,41m 

Discussion: Distinguished from 7738 as it was thought to fill an entrance. After excavation it appears that this context filled a possible corner niche (????) that may have been cut into wall F736. Plaster rendering defines the niche only partially.
This corner continues to be confusing, particularly as too many walls exist/were robbed here and the space has been severely disturbed by animal activity.
The fill defined by the render was sampled as this feature may represent a bin or similar. 

Recognition: Probably same as 7738 but extended back into what was supposed to be a mudbrick wall 

Execution: Trowel and hand shovel 

Condition: Very hot and dry 

Consistency: Moderately compact to soft 

Colour: 10YR 4/2 dark greyish brown 

Texture: Silty clay 

Bedding: Massive 

Inclusions: Pot, bone, stone and obsidian 

Post-depositional Features: Very severe animal and insect disturbance 

Basal Boundary: Edge to S unclear due to bioturbation. Peels off onto 7754 to NW. Appears to fill a corner 'niche' with edges partially defined by plaster (not fine). Base within niche defined by slightly firmer material.

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.
