Unit 30132

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Multiple floors 

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

Discussion: This is a unit which consists of multiple layers of floor surfaces make up and plaster. It was virtually impossible to follow in plan. After I removed u.30554 (and u.30113) which were more straightforward I started to try to follow this floor. Well, in this case I had to merge several layers to one unit. It is also perhaps harder to get any better resolution in this case. I could count to ca 5 layers which we were removing in this unit. That is 3 surfaces and 2 make up. However it is much possible that the floor was plastered very thinly, which I think was the case because when removing the layers the traces of plaster constantly confused us. It might be the reflooring during several years as well as one we see in this unit.

We stopped at a more coherent floor/make up level which could be considered the same floor approximately over the whole space (17).

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  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
