Unit 19624

Category: Layer    dug in 2011

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Ashy fill of ladder scar 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit

Dimensions: .52 m EW, .73 m NS, x .05 m 

Discussion: This mottled ashy clay loam was easily distinguishable from the section of grey-brown clay immediately to the west of it, with a nearly perfect north-south boundary line. The fill continues to descend, potentially even lower than the bottom of the built edge, which is why we stopped excavating this unit when we did. It was consistently deepest in the SE corner, suggesting that the cut it fills [19630] may proceed deepest in that corner as well. This may represent a fill of the widest and latest cut associated with a ladder hole in the the SE corner. 

Recognition: Ashy layer identified with removal of plaster surface (19621) 

Definition: Bounded on west by grey-brown silty clay, on north by built edge and ladder scar f. 3523, truncated on south by unstable walls f. 4087 and f.4089
