Unit 16829

Category: Layer    dug in 2008

Area: Trench 5 

Interpretive Categories: Room fill 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: We needed to take out the baulk created by digging out the grave (2416) because there were walls running through and underneath it. We separated it into three units, as there was a plaster line (16808) and a wall (16830) on the southern side. There were a few finds in the fill, mostly bone and pottery (approx 5% for both), and one piece of obsidian. 

Recognition: colour, consistency, texture 

Definition: Good to south next to plaster, context lost in north 

Execution: trowel and small pick 

Condition: dry, sunny 

Consistency: loose and compact in parts 

Colour: brownish-grey 

Texture: silty sand 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: white flecks, pottery and small fragments of bone (5%). Infrequent charcoal flecks. 

Post-depositional Features: none 

Basal Boundary: diffuse and unclear, especially intersection with northern fill
