Unit 30029

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Floor and make up sequence in E end of blg 

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

Discussion: Sequence of grey plaster floors and alluvial clayish make ups on E half of building. Lipping against the white plaster ridge in its W end, this unit is still later than the already excavated contexts in the W half of the building.
Two grey plaster floors and two white plaster floors (below the former) have been excavated, along with their respective make ups. The second make up layer from the top was actually a levelling unit, increasing in thickness from 0.5 cm to 5 cm towards the NW limit of this unit. Overall, this unit was much thicker towards the N, where the layers underneath show a marked slope.
Under this unit, lies a coarse greyish brown alluvial layer that appears to extend throughout the whole space. 

Consistency: Soft 

Colour: Grey (plaster floors), light brown (make ups) 

Texture: Silty clay 

Bedding: Layered (massively bedded layers) 

Inclusions: None 

Post-depositional Features: Abundant rodent burrows; moderate gypsum reprecipitation 

Basal Boundary: Sharp, prominent, smooth to slightly irregular, constructional

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.
