Unit 13458

Category: Layer    dug in 2006

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: brick core of platform 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: floor (packing only); Material: brick; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: Mud brick core to platform 2225 and bench 2213. The bench as seen higher in the phase life of the feature underwent several changes and may have begun life as a lip on a platform; to the south the lip was slightly truncated by later cut backs to the bench 2213. As it was extended north away from the entrance. 

Recognition: brick core of bench/platform 2213/2225. At this point the two features shared the same construction material. 

Definition: good into brick infill 

Execution: trowel and mattock excavated 

Condition: hot and dry 

Consistency: loose (crumbley) 

Colour: dark brown 

Texture: mud brick (heavy clay content) 

Bedding: massive (no obvious bricks) 

Inclusions: very occassional bone and obsidian flakes 

Post-depositional Features: truncated by two burial cuts [12998] and [13010] and animal burrows 

Basal Boundary: good - clear dark crumbled mud brick into lighter orangish brown compacted mud brick
