Unit 10806

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: arbitrary layer,mulltiple plaster and packing layers 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: multiple; Basal Spit: painted

Description: remants of the floor surfaces and packing FAST TRACK 

Discussion: excavating the mulltiple layers sloping down towards against the west wall
layer 1: grey silty white plaster
layer 2: grey silty layer within plaster, charcoal and brown clay
layer 3 hard grey clay within layers or plaster
layer4: grey clay with layers of grey silt
layer 5: grey silty clay with thick layers of plaster
layer 6: dark and sandy brown clay (plant material within clay)
layer 7: plaster (laminated)

we removed layers of plaster floors sloping downwards against the western wall in order to recognise the burial cuts for the burials that are visible from the south section
- later note it now appear that the cuts are a post retrieval pit - unrelated to the burials in the south section
