Unit 13505

Category: Layer    dug in 2009

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: rubble cluster 

Data Category Information: In Situ: non in-situ; Location: external; Material: brick&mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 1.52 x 1.00 x 0.14 

Discussion: This is a rubble cluster in NW part of an infill layer (unit 13509). It was composed of collapsed and fragmentated pale yellow mudbricks. It contrast from to similar unit from the level above (eg. Units 13071, 13076). The bricks were badly preserved and decomposed. It was imposible to distinguish particular bricks. The unit was much thicker than the above mentioned clusters. Its heights reached 0.14 m, while the heights of 13076 were only ).004 m. the basal boundary was more uneven and wavy. The material building unit 13505 was mixed with material from underlying infill layer (13509). No other constructional elements were found within this unit.

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.
