Unit 21648

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Inter-wall infill 

Data Category Information: Location: between walls; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: U21646 above U21648 are both the same interwall infilll, however they were constructed in different ways. At first it was thought that U21646 continued downward, but U21648 consisted mostly of very hard mortar that acted as support and foundation of F3624. The infill layer was also highly visible in the eastern section, so it was easy to follow. U21648 also held a mudbrick that was inclined towards the foundation wall of F3624 at the very bottom of the wall. The interwall infill was increasingly narrow as it was emptied. The unit was excavated mostly by trowel, while harder parts of mortar had to be hacked away. The 1m part of F3624 was removed simultaneously, as it was collapsing due to decreased support when the interwall infill was removed.

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.
