Unit 2066

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: room backfill 

Data Category Information: Location: in abandoned building; Deposition: coarsely bedded (dumps)

Dimensions: 0.58 x 1.00 m x 0.26 m deep 

Discussion: Mixed deposit comprising accumulative lenses of brick aggregates, broken down building material mixed with some domestic type debris. Slow accumulation indicated by lenses of organic material (coprolites), frags of phytolith concentrations, plaster lumps and bands and frags of clean grey or orange brown material. These appear to be derived from moulded features but not complete. Contains lots of salting both in lumps >3cm and in lenses at interfaces of interdigitated lenses - this also indicative of slow accumulation.
