Discussion: This is an infill layer located in the building 72 underneath two arbitrarly divided make-up layers [u. 15206 and 15207]. This infill consisted of various constructional elements including fragments of bricks, plaster and pieces of a crashed floor of pebbled make-up, both of the high quality. Interestingly, fragments of the same floor were quite numerous in the layers placed directly above [u. 15206 and 15207]. What is more, there were 3 large fragments of the crashed make-up (one with preserved floor surface) found in situ within u. 15224. They were recorded as units 15262, 15263 and 15264. From the stratigraphic standpoint it is possible to reconstruct subsequent phases of the Building 72 occupation. One of the earlier floors [u. 15262, 15263, 15264] were used in the infill [15224] and make-up layers for the youngest floor. It was constructed on top of all those layers [u. 13583, 15204]. Unit 15224 was relatively homogeneous. However, fragmentd bricks were located more closely along the walls than in the centre. On the contrary, lenses of pebble were present exclusively in the middle part of the unit. All other inclusions were spread evenly across the infill.

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.
