Unit 30309
Category: Layer dug in 2013
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: Bin infill
Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: bin; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit
Discussion: Upon excavating U.30300 a bin outline (U.30310) appeared and U.30309 was excavated as this bin's infill, identifed on one side by the bin superstructure, on the other side, not abutted by superstructure, by inference to a mostly round shape, cutting closer to flat (straight between the two tips of the supstructure) rather than extending further out, to a more ovoid shape.
The bin infill was significantly less deep than expexcted, extending down about 1 cm prior to hitting a plaster floor. Given its proximity to floor, and that the floor seemed to run under the superstructure, this infill seems to have been at the base of the bin, the top having been truncated by earlier excavation.
Consistency: Friable to firm; does not crumble.
Colour: Mix of light grey and light brown.
Texture: Silty-clay.
Bedding: Massive.
Inclusions: Bits of floor plaster (minimal).
Post-depositional Features: Weathering, roots.
Basal Boundary: Unit lies above patchy floor; where floor exists, the boundary is sharp, otherwise it is inferred based on general slope, and thus more or less arbitrary.

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.
