Unit 12541
Category: Layer dug in 2006
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: make-up,room fill,rough,dirty floot
Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: occupation
Dimensions: Up to 0.10m thick
Discussion: Horn core dimensions 160 mm x 28 mm.
Diffuse layer within Sp272. Baby burial F1536 found during excavation. May cut this deposit? But cut diffuse and not too clear.
Overlies browner material to south and more compact greyer material to north - unclear how these relate.
Otherwise almost arbitrary layer.
Burial F1540 also recovered during removal of this deposit, uncertain if it cuts or is beneath layer (like F1536)?
So in essence arbitrary layer in attempt to resolve/clarify activity in Sp272.
