Unit 3152

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor and packing 

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

Dimensions: 0.9 m EW x max 0.6- min 0.22 m NS x 60 mm thick 

Discussion: Unit is another fairly thin sequence of plaster floor layers, with an infill layer as it approached the S wall, presumably to even out the floor surface. The scoured nature of the floor surface creates some pitted areas and unevenness, but the layer is reasonably distinct. 

Recognition: clear white layer over a more consistently grey layer, clean break 

Definition: well defined to S wall, crumbly and protected to N edge of plan 

Execution: leaf trowel 

Condition: dry and crumbly 

Consistency: soft and loose on surface, hard below 

Colour: 10 YR 6/3 pale brown 

Texture: silty clay 

Bedding: layered, plaster surfaces and a deeper brown infill, sloping to S, pitted and eroded 

Inclusions: charcoal 2%, plant remains 2% + uneven 

Post-depositional Features: (erosion and weathering) 

Basal Boundary: sharp and distinct, particularly in colour, anthropogenic (?) and inclining steeply to the S wall

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.
