Unit 21125

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: infill of cut u.21124 

Data Category Information: Location: cut

Description: Infill of cut uu.21124, located between platforms F.3694 and F.3695. Fill consisted of consistent dark grey make-up material interspersed with irregulary sized plaster nodules. Fill bounded by the plaster of cut unit 21124. 

Discussion: Cut became evident upon excavation of the eastward edge of platform F.3694. 10-15 cm beneath the surface of the fill appeared a plaster "floor" sharply defining the boundary between the infill material and the cut beneath.
U.21125 filling-up a trench F.7332, is very different of all the building material used in the platform F.3695 and F.3694 truncated by cut u.21124 and the platforms F.7605 and F.7617 on which it is sitting. It contains chunks of plastered surfaces. Coming from the truncation of the platforms?

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.
