Unit 11000
Category: layer dug in 2004
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: cleaning layer
Data Category Information: Description: cleaning
Description: FAST TRACK
Discussion: We began this unit level by re-surface scraping in order to re-define the borders of mudbrick walls and a probable burial. We removed an approx. 1m x 1.5 m portion of the protective bags along the E side of our unit, in order to fully uncover the surface of the probable burial. After excavation of feature 1750, the rest of unit 11000 excavated up to wall in S. Clay brick material against wall in S. Unit finished 18/7/04.
FAST TRACK
EXCAVATED 13/07/04
Recognition: Darker material between two buildings appeared to indicate a passage (revealed in surface scrape)
Definition: External sides of building walls on north and south sides at surface; also, external appearance of probable grave feature on E side
Execution: Clearing with mattock, trowel, hoe, in plan, by lenses; began on several sides of unit, heading westward toward burial
Condition: Unit is very dry-- wind kicks up a great deal of dust
Consistency: Variable soft/friable with pockets of firm
Colour: Yellowish beige

Bedding: Compound layering
Inclusions: Burned clay fragments, charcoal, bone, obsidian, salts
Post-depositional Features: Some bioturbation due to small root systems and animal burrowning, some compaction, some aeolian and aluvial surface erosion
Basal Boundary: Where soil changes to a fill with more compaction
