Unit 20213

Category: Layer    dug in 2012

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

Data Category Information: Location: between walls; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: E-W 0,50 x N-S 0,12 x 0,09 m 

Discussion: The infill was placed above the blocking of niche [F.456 ], located in the southern wall [F. 445] of Space 176, directly against the Northern face of wall F. 7052. It was excavated discretely due to recognizable layer of light-grey plaster placed below the described deposit. However, during the excavation it appeared that the infill might have been accumulated during the same time/episode as inter-wall infill [u.20212]. The only exception was the evidence of more noticeable plaster components within the fill. The plaster came probably from the wall [F.7052], or it was used intentionally as an ingredient in the mortar [u. 20215] holding the bricks [u.20214] in the blocking crawl-hole/niche.

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.
