Unit 12120

Category: Layer    dug in 2005

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: pit fill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: "Pit" was visible as separate fill which was greyish with only small inclusions and some charcoal. Cut was not distinct and after excavation we think layer is probably part of room fill. May have been extension of 12115 which was not visible on original surface. Some fill probably associated with this unit was not excavated because it extends into building's south wall, which we did not want to undercut (south boundary of unit).

Plan 05/518 is of the unit after excavation. Plan 05/524 is of the unit before excavation.

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.
