Unit 11101

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 2.20m EW X 1.40m NS 

Description: FAST TRACK 

Discussion: This layer was excavated by Sheila and Medha. They took down much of the East side of the space because it seemed to be quite high and needed to be removed to understand the relationships with the ashy deposits to the west. The two deposits were excavated and scraped toether for better understanding beneath the fast track program. The next day (Friday July 16th) it rained and so work stopped in the area due to the muddy condition of the soil. The removal of the layer revealed plastered walls to the East, North and West; the Southern wall is dubious.


Depth and volume estimated in PX. Unclear how much of this unit (if any) was dry sieved (DE 2009) 

Recognition: composition: plastered stone, silty sand 

Definition: clear, raised boundaries; different colors and texture 

Execution: trowel 

Condition: hot and dry 

Consistency: firm 

Colour: pale orange and white and brown (tan) and black (ash) 

Texture: sandy silt loam 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: ash: this layer contained clay aggregates (c.5cm) 5%; phytoliths, plaster chunks (c.5-10cm) mud brick and mortar aggregates, very little bone, obsidian, no pottery, ash (10%) and charcoal (5%) 

Post-depositional Features: disturbance by roots, insects, burrows, organic stianing, cigarettes 

Basal Boundary: diffuse to the East sharper towards the West

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
