Unit 14739

Category: Layer    dug in 2007

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: floor and makeup 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: dark grey clay; Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation); Basal Spit: unpainted

Dimensions: depth estimated. 

Discussion: Partial grey floor located only in the southern half of room 311 and 316 truncated completely to the north of the surviving early surface on platforms F.2377 + 2378 are probably of contemporary date. The make up covers all of spaces 313 & 316 and most of space 311with the exception of the cores for platforms along the eastern wall whos material appeared slightly different.

This floor an make up should have been split in post excavation but it caused to many problems with finds, very thin patchy surface, mainly scoured away. (MWH 30/06/2010)
