Unit 22643

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: floor makeup 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: floor (packing only); Material: brick; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: This is the highly scorched makeup layer of the central clean floor area of B. 131. It contains large chunks of rubble that were constantly being kicked up by foot traffic once this layer was exposed in 2015. A fragment of human cranium eroded out and was collected. The layer was not excavated in 2015, but 12 samples were taken by Marco Madella and Carla Lancelotti as part of the phytolith grid sampled when the latest phase of the building was exposed (from areas where the final plastering event u. 22642 was not preserved). 

Consistency: dry and crumbly but compact 

Colour: orange and black, highly scorched 

Texture: clay loam 

Bedding:  

Inclusions: high rubble content 

Post-depositional Features: burning, animal burrows, plastering over 

Basal Boundary:

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.
