Unit 14916
Category: Layer dug in 2007
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: midden
Data Category Information: Location: external; Deposition: finely bedded
Dimensions: N-S=5.20m, E-W=2.10m, depth =0.08m
Discussion: Midden below building 70 but above building 71 so must have been deposited within a short-timeframe between construction of the two buldings.
Midden layers tip away at north so deposit is deeper in the northern part.
The laminated deposit continues to the north side of the late building foundation as 14922
Recognition: laminated midden layers under building 70
Definition: above more laminated midden which runs under building 71 to the south
Execution: mattock- 100%sieved

Consistency: lose
Colour: dark greu
Texture: silty ash
Bedding: finely laminated
Inclusions: very frequent bone, moderate pot, stone, frequent charcoal flecks, occasional shell
