Unit 3120

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: brick 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: building; Material: brick; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.52 x 0.32 x 0.134 

Description: methodology / description same as / copied from (2879) 

Discussion: (3120) represents two courses of bricks in wall [56] which were surrounded by layers of mortar, (3121) and richer, infilling material (3119). The material of these bricks was very similar to that of (2879) excavated with the upper two courses of the wall, so was not described separately 

Recognition: Clearly different colour and texture of bricks, separated by mortar from the wall [70] to the east 

Definition: Distinctly defined from surrounding units 

Execution: Trowel and pick 

Condition: Dry and crumbly 

Consistency: Firm 

Colour: Light yellowish brown 10 YR 6/4 

Texture: Sandy silt loam 

Bedding: Massive 

Inclusions: 2 % Charcoal (flecks and small pieces); 2% clay (10 YR 6/6 brownish yellow) (flecks small and medium pieces); 2% plant silicates; <2% plaster (flecks) occasional hackberries 

Post-depositional Features: salt crystals and animal burrows 

Basal Boundary: The basal boundary was sharp and constructional, so clearly defined. The surface between bricks and mortar was slightly uneven, but marked by salt crystalisation.

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.
