Unit 30161

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Floor with matting,Infill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: occupation; Deposition: single

Description: Not excavated in 2013. added 2014: revealed full extent; cover all of sp 18 

Discussion: This is a not excavated unit 2013. It was recognized as a phytolith-covered thin layer of soil. I initially am thinking that it might be an eroded activity floor with matting and that it should be connected with u.30593, thus over infill u.30139 (also not exc). But I do not assert this because it seems very eroded and it is hard to recognize. One sample was taken for phytoliths (below a stone lid -S1) Also a sample for micromorphology has been designated to this unit, because it was taken in the sondage cut, the top layer was this one.

Added 2014: Below u30139 we saw finally the true extension of this unit although we will not excavate it this year and it is disturbed by by occupational activities especially in its S part (where also we truncated it a bit). It covered more or less the whole space. We x-finded 6 finds because presumably they were in situ and took two more samples (phytoliths).

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
