Unit 17499

Category: Layer    dug in 2008

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: small pit fill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: scoop; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit

Dimensions: 0.5 m diam x 0.15m deep 

Discussion: Sterile fill of small scoop or pit in SE corner. Fill solid and blocky with lots decayed reed impressions. Looks like raw building material, similaqr to some mudbrick type material. Dug into infill of earlier building.

At surface looked almost puddled - though would/could be ladder emplacement but regular and circular shape of cut in plan suggests otherwise.

Location at interface of constructiion phase could suggest a construction of B.49 phase event, possibly a small pit to make mud plaster? For internal house features etc? . Appears that dry sieve volume of zero is valid 19/08/09 SAJ 

Recognition: colour change and compaction relative to surrounds 

Consistency: solid, blocky 

Colour: mid yellow brown 

Texture: fine silty clay 

Bedding: massive and blocky 

Inclusions: v. clean, occ specks of white salts and charcoal but matrix rich in decayed reed impressions 

Post-depositional Features: animal run 

Basal Boundary: clear, sharp, anthropogenic

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.
