Unit 21323

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: carb. post + infill in cut 21322 (posthole 2173) 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: posthole; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: Posthole F.2173 was recognised in 2005 but not excavated. It contains the remains of the carbonised base of the post. This last was thus not removed prior to the burning of B52. Botanical lab took a sample of charcoal for species analysis. The rest of the infill was made of silty clay material. It was heavily burnt. Athough the carbonised post had the exact same shape as the cut (subrectangular, plank-like) and the infill was only found in the little gap between the post and the cut. 

Consistency: charcoal-->very loose. Infill-> soft 

Colour: black for the charcoal of carbonised post. Dark brownish grey for the infill 

Texture: carbonised post - charcoal, silty clay for the infill 

Bedding: -- 

Inclusions: -- 

Post-depositional Features: burning of the post 

Basal Boundary: cut u.21322. Constructional and abrupt change, contrast is prominent and surface is smooth.
