Unit 14315

Category: Layer    dug in 2006

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: make up 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: building; Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 3.76x2.10x0.33 

Discussion: layer is made up of broken burnt bricks in a clay/silt matrix. The bricks have been mostly smashed and used as a make up layer for B.53. This layer is extant across most of the floor area except in NE corner. The layer has also been used to backfill a pit (14320).

Essentially the layer may have 3 stages:
1. Backfill a pit
2. Settling ( a fine soil-like lense is visible in N-facing section in possible gully area of 14320
3. Further backfilling/make up

Note: the dimensions given are projected through the animal truncation.

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
