Unit 20847

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Fill of plastered scoop 

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

Discussion: This unit was apparent in plan as a circular layer of compact grey clay loam, and was removed carefully by trowel until the clear layer below of clean white plaster appeared. The feature seems to be a scoop in the floor (rather than an intentional modeling) and this fill may represent a packing to create the floor above (u. 20849). It was truncated by the post retrieval pit to the west (7000). 

Consistency: Compact 

Colour: Grey

Post-depositional Features: Cut by post retrieval pit
