Unit 11933

Category: Layer    dug in 2005

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: bin surface,surface 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: white clay; Deposition: multiple; Basal Spit: unpainted

Dimensions: 0.60 (N) x 0.40 (E) 

Discussion: The unit is defined by the plaster covering it. Then it was assumed at first that it was served as a bin or a similar purposed.
The excavation started after drawing the plan and taking the photo. It is observed that the top plaster was put in phases or it was detoriated in such a way that the plasters were moved in the vertical axis.
Suprisingly the unit consistency suddenly changed after taking out some of the top (app. 4 cm) and turned to be containing nothing.
From the sides it seems that this fill is cut diagonally and the non existent part is filled by 11924.

This surface may have been at the base of a bin. There are bins along the same stretch of wall, a little to the west whose walls are heavily eroded. (FS29/06/09)

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.
