Unit 12633

Category: Cut    dug in 2006

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Assumed 'retreival' cut 

Data Category Information: Description: posthole

Discussion: Cut of assumed retrieval. The obvious change in the fill of the foundation cut at this point indicated that there may have been an entrance into building 41. The mud-bricks which appeared to be 'lining' this gap also suggested this possibility. However, on excavating fill 12622 no threshold of any sort was visible. We now think that there may have been some sort of structure (maybe a stone threshold?) at this point- lined by mud-bricks- which was subsequently removed. This retrieval cut- 12633- was cut following the line of the foundation cut 12630 and was backfilled with a single fill - 12622. As such it is not easy to see. 

Recognition: Identified by removal of fill 12622

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.
