Unit 11027

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Fill,Midden 

Data Category Information: Location: external; Deposition: finely bedded

Description: FAST TRACK 

Discussion: We descended in this level to the elevation of the wall on the S side of space 242, in order to give it more definition, as well as to further define wall feature 1752. This unit was excavated independently of unit 11028, due to a difference in sediment consistency and texture. This unit has a higher clay content. A thin plaster line was noted in the W portion of this unit which likely indicated the S face of the wall on the South side of space 242. However, while cleaning this feature, the line, disappeared at a depth of one centimeter (did not continue into next layer/unit).

EXCAVATED 28/07/04

FAST TRACK 

Recognition: Base of layer 11016 and 11025 and 11026 

Definition: Delineated by building space on the N, pit feature 1751 on the W, wall feature 1752 on the S, and change in sediment (layer 11028) on the E 

Execution: Maddock and trowel 

Condition: Slightly damp sediment-- warm and windy day 

Consistency: Compact to very compact 

Colour: Light greyish beige 

Texture: Clayey loam 

Bedding: Massive 

Inclusions: Charcoal, bone, obsidian, burned clay, shell 

Post-depositional Features: Bioturbation due to burrows and roots; some compaction 

Basal Boundary: At a level with wall on S side of space 242

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.
