Unit 20881

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: brick 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: The wall F 3514 was heavily eroded (as it was truncated by Mellaart and exposed for a long time) and the best preserved SW part was covered by a clay patch U20883 very similar in colour and consistency to the bricks of the wall. Because of these reasons the actual structure of the the wall was very hard to follow (at least at the top layer). 

Consistency: firm ( friable where eroded) 

Colour: greyish dark yellow 

Texture: silty clay 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: sparse small flecks of charcoal and salt 

Post-depositional Features: heavily eroded (especially at the top and N part) 

Basal Boundary: sharp anthropogenic 

Unit Stratigraphy (as recorded in the field): above: (Click to view the record) 20891, 20892 below: (Click to view the record) 20883 equal to: (Click to view the record) 20882

Associated Mellaart Levels (from Space): VII 

Associated Hodder Level (from Space): Unassigned at present 

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
