Unit 1593

Category: layer    dug in 1996

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: fill of cut 

Data Category Information: Location: floor (packing only); Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 1.58m x 0.62m x (0.02-0.06m) 

Discussion: After removal of the filling from the Northern half of cut 1546to its base, it was attempted to separate at least the most distinct of these in the Southern half of the cut (left in section). 1593 is immediately below 1532 and is the upper major layer of cut 1546. Within this, some smaller more charcoal rich lenses were observed and the unit probably includes several episodes of deposition.

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.
