Unit 23411

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: dirty floor 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation); Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: dirty floor in southern part of Sp.576 associated with the use of fire installations F.8504. The limit of this deposit was defined by walls of Sp.576, the fire installation and - to the north - by basin F.7778. The north-western part was truncated by foundation cut for eastern wall F.2183 of Sp.90 - B.164. The floor - in its central part - was truncated by a relatively shallow pit F.7772 that could have been a trace of ceramic vessel implacement. The floor and its make up were excavated with one unit number. Also, there was a later stripe of floor layer associated with construction of the oven. It was laid against thenorthern edge of this feature. 

Consistency: friable / firm 

Colour: greyish brown 

Texture: silty clay 

Bedding: compound layered: 

Inclusions: some charcoal 

Post-depositional Features: animal disturbance, truncation by pit F.7772, possible ladder implacement F.8500 and foundation cut for eastern wall F.2183 of Sp.90 / B.164. 

Basal Boundary: anthropogenic, abrupt, distinct, smooth

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.
