Unit 19397

Category: Layer    dug in 2012

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: single; Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: The floor was located in the western part of the space 470. Its eastern section was truncated, and its surface was badly preserved. The terrible condition of the layer was revealed by recording crumbled face of the coat, as well as its diverse depth and layering in several locations within the unit. For instance, there were 2 coating phases identified along the bench (partition wall ?), in central part of the space 470. However, in its Western section there was only one phase evidenced. The quality of preservation might be involved with activity taking place in the area in its younger stage (see unit sheet 19394). Additionally, it appeared that directly below the floor there was a kind of make-up layer, comprised of mid-grey silt that unfortunately was embedded with the above described mid-white surface. Due to the fixed nature of both layers it was unworkable to excavate them separately. Therefore, both layers had been taken off together as the same unit.

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
