Unit 22613

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: inter-wall infill 

Data Category Information: Location: between walls; Deposition: heterogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit

Discussion: This unit represents the fill put between the walls of B. 131 & B. 1 after construction. It contains a great deal of artifacts, including a substantial number of articulated animal bone (i.e. epiphyses and metapodials). The conflagration of B. 1 & B. 131 burned the layer severely. It was excavated by trowel and brush, and was extremely crumbly due not only to the degree of burning but also to its exposure since the excavation of B.1 in the 1990s. Extensive animal burrowing exacerbated its fragility as well, in addition to introducing some intrusive plastic material. 

Consistency: soft, crumbly, and loose 

Colour: orange and dark grey/black layers 

Texture: silt and ash 

Bedding: compound 

Inclusions: bone, charcoal, ash 

Post-depositional Features: extensive animal burrows; was exposed for a long time 

Basal Boundary: clear-- came down on walls of B. 131 (f. 7707), u. 22602

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded
