Unit 11579

Category: layer    dug in 2005

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: make up layer 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: external; Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 3.40 x 1.40 x 0,17 

Discussion: This is a make-up layer under a Roman floor (unit 10988). Two postholes have been noticed within this layer. One- close to its middle (infill 11584, cut 11585) and the other in its eastern part (infill 11586, cut 11587). This is a first layer of levelling, while the second is recorded as unit 11590.

The other part of this Roman floor was recorded in west extension so the unit underneath (11580) is possibly another part of this make-up layer.

The unit was finished as more mixed deposit was exposed with lots of rubble (unit 11590).

The layer had different heights (ranging from 0.04 E to 0.08 W), highest ranging from 1017.64 in W part to 1017.46 in E part and the lowest differed from 1017.59 in W part to 1017.50 in its E part.

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.
