Unit 21844

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: pit infill 

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

Discussion: 21844 refers to the infill of pit F8026, which is located in the southern side of sp. 170, almost 5 cm south-east from pit F8029.
F8026 was covered by the make-up layers related to the construction of platform F558 and cut phase E floors. (NB: since both features were removed with the same unit, 21827, it is important to indicate that the number in the matrix refers to phase E floors only).
With an oval shape (0.35x0.30 m) and a depth of almost 0.17 m, the pit seems to be too little to be associated to any structural function. Due to the presence of a little circular cut on the bottom of the main one, as well as to its limited dimensions, it is possible that the pit was originally a cache. Despite this hypothesis, no significant object have been found in 21844, that is only associated to some random stones. 

Consistency: friable 

Colour: brown-greysh 

Texture: upper infill (4-5 cm thick) has a high sand (0.1-0.3 cm thick) concentration; lower infill is sandy-clay 

Bedding: layered 

Inclusions: stones (medium-large; 5%); bones (flecks; 2%) 

Post-depositional Features:  

Basal Boundary: change in accumulated deposit, gradual, distinct, smooth form and surface, slitly inclined towards east

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.
