Interpretive Categories: discard scatter,rubbish 

 

Data Category Information: Location: midden; Material: obsidian; Deposition: primary deposition

 

Dimensions: c. 0.3 m x 0.4 m 

 

Description: Scatter:
Flakes and tiny specks of obsidian scatter - basal boundary of scatter uneven i.e. respects the underlying horizon. Therefore no indication of surface preparation before the deposition of the cluster took place. The frags were randomly scattered with no apparent area of concentration.
Fragments were horizontally laid, none were noticed on edge.
[. . . continued in discussion] 

 

Discussion: 2894 consisted of a discrete scatter within deposit 2845 which comprised a series of laminations and lenses of 'domestic' debris. 2894 appeared to have been a discrete event from 2893 as it was scattered over al lower horizon of deposition. This however could have happened close together in time as opposed to a long time apart.

2893 + 2894: It would be interesting to see if they share any characteristics to indicate the time span between deposition which would highlight the use of this space. 

 

Recognition: concentration of micro obsidian 

Definition: defined area of scatter 

Execution: leaf trowel & brush, following interface from outer edge 

Condition: dry, dusty with lots of roots and ants

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.
