Unit 2312

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: make-up,packing 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: oven; Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.52 m E-W x 0.30 m N-S x max 80 mm to north and 50 mm thick to south 

Discussion: Basal 'lining' make-up / levelling to FI 82. Very dense material, appears at once very like brick material, some more rubbish type deposit in patches. Natural salting appeared at the basal interface. Slightly scorched to the SW, also where the deposit is slightly thinner. The layer underlies the whole of the FI structure and peters out below the floors in the main space. Its not clear whether this deposit underlay the floors as too little survives from the 1960's excavation. The reason against this underlying the whole floor is due to its absence in the northern section where a patch of floor does survive.

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
