Unit 11104

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: mud brick and mortar 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick&mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 2.8m EW x .3m NS x .20m 

Description: fast track 

Discussion: (sketch of southern wall)

this is the southern wall of space 46. Its top layer of brick is highly eroded. There are only two courses that are well defined. This later intrusion to the plastered surface that we are trying to follow was cut on to an earlier wall. this can clearly be seen at te eastern edge as the brick steps up a course. This was perhaps done for extra support to the wall itself. The bricks on the eastern edge are also clearly bounded to the eatern wall.

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

Recognition: similarly like 11103; f1801 was recognized as an anormality in what we believed to be the south wall of space 233. 2 or 3 courses of mud brick seem to be above and protruding north above a plastered wall surface 

Definition: defined by light orangish brown mud brick and light greyish brown mortar 

Execution: trowel 

Condition: dry 

Consistency: Mud brick: firm. Morter: firm 

Colour: Mud brick: orangish light brown. Morter: light greyish brown 

Texture: Mud brick: silty clay loam. Morter: silty clay loam with ash

Inclusions: Mud brick: specks of charcoal (<2%), phytolith specks (10%), small pieces of clay appregates (<2%). Morter: same as mud brick, but with a lot of ash and more charcoal (10%) 

Post-depositional Features: Mud brick: foot holes, insect/animal activity. Morter: animal, insect and plant activity

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
