Unit 3165

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor,platform make up layer 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: non-white laid floor; Deposition: single

Dimensions: 0.72 m E-W x 0.55 m N-S, up to 0.03 m thick 

Discussion: Relatively clean layer of brown silt, below (3160) and (3159), appears to be associated with the platform visible in the section to the N. Partly peeling off an occupation deposit so possibly layer at the very base of platform, although more plaster revealed underneath during excavation. If the assumption that this layer assoc. with the platform is erronous then the most likely alternative is a partially surviving floor, and (3160) and (3159) remnant of small structure against E wall perhaps. 

Recognition: Recognised during excavation of (3148). (3148) ran up to the edge of this layer. 

Definition: Once the layer had been recognised and (3148), the definition of the S edge appeared clear, the N side is defined by edge of excavation and the W side by the wall, to E by gridline.

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
