Unit 15191

Category: Layer    dug in 2010

Area: Trench 5 

Interpretive Categories: fill between floors,floor make up 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: EW 1,4m x NS 0,5m x 0,1m thickness 

Discussion: This is the roomfill separating two layers of plastered floor (15170, 15190) in Space 446, NS corner. It only became visible in the section of the floor. Previously it had appeared as grey patches on the surface of 15190. The fill as well as the underlying U.15190 were heavily disturbed and no longer identifiable towards the SE. Discussion with East Mound colleagues (RR) suggests that U.15191 is the "make up" of the floor. It is part of a typical floor construction technique. The whole floor consists of 2 layers of plaster and this make up (15191) sandwiched between them-

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.
