Unit 12634

Category: Layer    dug in 2006

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Mud-Brick 'lining' 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: 12634 was fairly difficult to distinguish in plan, but once fill 12622 had been removed 3-4 uneven courses of mud-brick were observed on either side of the 'gap' in 12629. They seem to have provided a lining- built onto and surrounded by fill 12629- perhaps for a threshold into building 41 (itself later removed).
It was particularly difficult to remove the bricks 12634 from fill 12629 as they were formed from very similar- if not the same- material.
A lead object-weight?- was recovered from within one mud-brick as well as bone and both Neolithic and Byzantine pot. Original Total Deposit Volume entered as 0 altered by system check 30/08/09 

Recognition: Recognised as uneven ' lining' of mud-bricks after 12622 removed 

Definition: Fairly distinct in section- less in plan 

Execution: Hand tools and shovel. Fully excavated 

Condition: Dry 

Consistency: Very firm 

Colour: Light to mid brown-grey 

Texture: clay silt? 

Bedding: n/a 

Inclusions: finds-bone, pot, lead object 

Post-depositional Features: n/a 

Basal Boundary: Uneven- very difficult to distinguish mud-bricks from 12629

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded
