Unit 1078

Category: layer    dug in 1996

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: bricky 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 1.30 NS, 2.10 EW, min thickness: 5cms, max: 30cms 

Discussion: Bricky soil in southern end of 107.Mainly clean mudbrick material but at southern end it clearly abuts southern wall. At eastern side it clearly abuts what appears to be a foundation brick below the eastern wall, at southern end it overlies foundation trench 1502. 1078 peels of very neatly onto dark midden material, with very clear basal horizon.

As dug this was below 1062, but I've equated it to wall 77 which was not identified in this half of the area during excavation. As there was no plan or levels, I've equated this to the wall on the basis of it's brickyness, closest level I could find on plan 96/113, and rough location as seen on plan 96/117.
The matrix has been amended accordingly.

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.
