Unit 3128

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Brick 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.69 x 0.24 x 0.085 

Discussion: (3128) represents two bricks at the base of wall [56], surround above and to the west by the in-fill material (3119). It differs markedly from the rest of the brick in [56] because of its high clay content. It musty have been put in place before the in-fill material (3119) was added, apparently to level the area and provide a foundation from the upper courses of brick above (3128) and round the corner (i.e. (3105)) 

Recognition: Clear colour and textual difference 

Execution: Trowel and pick 

Condition: Dry and crumbly - a breezy day 

Consistency: Firm 

Colour: 10 YR 6/3 - Pale brown 

Texture: Clayey soil 

Bedding: Massive 

Inclusions: 8% clay (5 YR 4/6 - Yellowish red, medium sized pieces); 2% charcoal flecks; 2% plaster flecks; <2% plant silicates 

Post-depositional Features: Salt encrustation and animal burrowing 

Basal Boundary: A sharp clear basal boundary lying above the mixed ashy deposit (3134). The surface between (3128) and (3134) was smooth and fairly level and distinguished by salt encrustation in places.
