Unit 11013

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Fill,Floor 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Description: FAST TRACK 

Discussion: The removal of this layer further exposed several features of the unit and its surrounds -- the mudbrick walls to the N and S, the ashy stainn in the wetern portion. We recovered a great deal of bone, some ceramic, and some obsidian, as well as a grinding stone (?) slab on the west side, and a bone point on the N side. Unit ended at an arbitrary base of (varied) 4-8 cm below top of layer. Collapsed brick on S side mapped, then removed.

FAST TRACK

EXCAVATED 21/07/04 

Recognition: This layer was taken out at an arbitrary depth of 4-8 cm in order to levell-off the unit and expose various features 

Definition: Bordered by mudbrick walls to N and S of unit, unexcavated portion to W of unit, burial to E of unit 

Execution: Maddock, trowel, brush 

Condition: Dry, chilly, and very windy -- topsoil of unit is very loose 

Consistency: Loose to friable throughout unit, with a few compact, clayey spots 

Colour: Light beige to grey (ashy stain fill on W side) 

Texture: Clayey loam 

Bedding: Massive (with a few mottled areas) 

Inclusions: bone, burned brick, obsidian, ceramic, worked stone (?) 

Post-depositional Features: Some bioturbation due to animal burrows and small root systems; aeoloian and alluvial erosion 

Basal Boundary: Arbitrary-- depth of 4-8 cm

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.
