Unit 11110

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: floors,infill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 2.14 m E-W x 1.14 m N-S x average 10 cm height 

Description: fast track 

Discussion: we started excavating this unit as general fill around the room, first from the eastern side then working towards the west and south around the clay line/ division. To the west of the room the soil started peeling off on a surface that did not seem to be too smooth. To the SE corner, there were reasonable amounts of lithic micro debitage/flakes. The central area of the unit was compact and during excavation a layer of plastered surface which was not necessarily continuous was truncated. Excavation stopped in a level that semmed to be in the same phase.

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.
