Unit 11028

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 features 1752 and 1755. This unit was excavated independently of unit 11027, due to a difference in sediment consistency and texture. We removed the chunk of charcoal and burned clay from the N central part of the unit after pedestalling to define its outline and depth. This may be the rubble from an oven feature-- high concentration of burned clay and charcoal. At the base of the unit, there was a great deal of decomposed plaster "marbling". Additionally, the plaster wall noted at the surface of this unit appears to be an earlier plaster wall surface, extending deeper into the next level.

EXCAVATED 28/07/04

FAST TRACK 

Recognition: Base of layer 11016 

Definition: Delineated by building space on the N, wall feature 1755 on the E, wall feature 1752 on the S, and change in sediment (layer 11027) on the W

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.
