Unit 21686

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: mortar within a constructional element f.7866 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: There was possible to record 8 layers of the mortar (21686) that joint the same amount of brick courses (21684) within the constructional element F.7861. The thickness of the particular layers of the paste varied, mostly due to the pressure caused by the weight of overlying walls of B.77. 

Consistency: friable 

Colour: mid-orange, 

Texture: andy-lilt, silt 

Bedding: compound, 

Inclusions: charcoals (10%) fragmens of clay bricks (10%) 

Post-depositional Features: compression caused by the weight and pressure of the overlying walls 

Basal Boundary: distinct, constructional

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.
