Unit 16726
Category: Layer dug in 2008
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: Eroded Midden Fill
Data Category Information: Location: external; Deposition: finely bedded
Dimensions: EW- 3.48m; NS- 4.66m; Depth- 0.12m
Discussion: Deposit comprising of mixed eroded brick material between lenses of midden. This was probably a result of erosion and deposits slumping into the top of an earlier pit. Most of the material from the layer will be from the underlying midden there is a higher chance of contamination.
Recognition: Friable bricky material mixed with midden in lenses and within cut
Definition: Friable bricky material mixed with midden in lenses and within cut
Execution: Mattock, 100% sieved
Condition: Hot
Consistency: Friable
Colour: Mixed with brownish grey and dark grey lenses
Texture: Ashy silt and clayey silt
Bedding: Lamination with lenses of midden and eroded bricky material
Inclusions: Moderate bone, obsidian, stone, occasional shell, worked stone; frequent charcoal flecks
