Unit 11908

Category: Cluster    dug in 2005

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Bin fill 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: bin; Material: archaeobotanical; Deposition: primary deposition; Basal Spit: almonds, grain

Dimensions: c. 85cm x 40 cm 

Discussion: This unit of bin fill was differentiated from 11906 (above) by an emerging concentration of wheat grains (and some almonds), taken as sample no.1. This concentration was directly below the almond spread in 11906 (S1) but much richer in grain, and therefore important to differentiate. After removal of the wheat grain concentration and some surrounding fill (all taken for for flotation = S2) , the fill of the whole bin appeared more uniformly reddish brown in colour and more compact. Some animal bone and obsidian were also exposed (but not removed). Therefore, the unit was changed.

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.
