Unit 1851

Category: layer    dug in 1996

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: clay layer in pit 

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

Dimensions: 45 X 30 cm 

Discussion: starting with an 'L'-shaped bit at a high - level, cut to E & N it continues under the whole area occupied by overlying deposit 1848. This is a soil dump in a cut/pit. The precise stratigraphy is not quite clear & I suspect this is not bottomed and probably runs under the fill in the E end of the cut i.e.. the fill below cut (1656) where I originally stopped. It wasn't clear if 1656 was bottomed as we had a section separating it from fallen wall moulding? So basically, the whole thing is mixed up. So 1851 will still be there - in part at least in 1997.

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.
