Unit 2170

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: infill beneath floor 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 1.4 x 0.8 m 

Discussion: Ashy infill layer beneath final pre-floor packing (*). Frequent charcoal flecks (1-2cm), quite loosely packed. Clean interface with orange layers below.
Sloping from N-NW end of room to south. Arbitrary division in 2m squares between this context & 2165 to South.

(*): No floor packing separated / identified in Space 70 - therefore this lies directly under floor unit [1410], however this does not mean there was no packing

Consistency: soft / loose 

Colour: 10 YR 6/3 - 4/3 plae brown to brown 

Texture: silty clay 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: 30% 1-2cm sub-angular frags of charcoal; 2% bone frags 

Post-depositional Features: animal intrusion 

Basal Boundary: well defined interface with next layer
