Unit 23634

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: midden deposit 

Data Category Information: Location: external; Deposition: finely bedded

Discussion: The midden deposit 23634 had been allocated below the upper counterpart: 23160. The top surface of the layer had been establish after arbitrarily ceased excavation of the overlying sediment on the elevation of ca.1010.50 m a.s.l. The provided strategy was based on revealing more clear eastern border of the accumulated midden which corresponded with the alignment of the truncated remnants of the E-wall F.8327 of B.139. The excavated area of the U.23634 was delineated by the same restrictions as the overlying deposit 23160. Furthermore, the both layers shared the same characteristics. The only exception was that in U.23634 there were evidently thicker clayish laminations and alternatively thinner ashy ones. The latter ones were in addition more greasy due to the fat-clay component. Within the lower strata of the sediment there was also identified plaster-like, light-lime material between the layers of ash.

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
