Unit 2549

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: inter-building fill 

Data Category Information: Location: between walls; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 80 x 42 cm 

Discussion: Very mixed deposit c. 35 cm thick, mainly an orange sandy matrix with large fragments of brown clay, but also other inclusions such as charcoal fragments, grey mortar (esp. nearer base) & salts in general, the layer is more compact, with more building demolition type material nearer the base. It bears some comparison with the layers in space 73, but, not quite the same - there, the fill was more layered with 'cleaner' deposits while it is quite clearly mixed here. It does however, come down onto the same layer which is also the same as within building 1 - these may be a widespread levelling/terracing layer.

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.
