Unit 3144

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floors and make up 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: mixed; Deposition: composite (floor/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Dimensions: 0.2 m EW x 0.27 m NS x 70 mm 

Discussion: Very small grid sample, revealed to be above the previously dug unit 3135. This unit removed to ensure stratigraphical order. Unremarkable floor deposit, mostly plaster. Unit removed accounts for several plaster floor layers, plus an infill deposit. Here, unlike 3145 and 3146 the infill layer was very thin. 

Recognition: layer recognised above 3135 during excavation of 3135 

Definition: small, clear white deposit against plaster feature 

Execution: leaf trowel, edge to plaster feature 

Condition: very dry and crumbly 

Consistency: soft, dry and crumbly 

Colour: 10 YR 7/2 light grey 

Texture: very smooth fine silt 

Bedding: layered, several plaster and one (unreadable) 6 mm brown layer 

Inclusions: none 

Post-depositional Features: none 

Basal Boundary: abrupt and distinct but irregular and inclosed steeply SW
