Unit 3186

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: repair to bin,wall of bin 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: bin; Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.69 m E-W x 0.12 m N-S, max 0.04 m (thick?) 

Discussion: Layer which is part of construction for wall of bin F.257. Towards the W it fills a hollow and may have been part of a repair along with (3197).

Layer (2791) which was excavated last year (1997) probably abutted this to its S side (levels and plans seem to match). 

Recognition: Seen as upstanding wall of F.257, very light brown, very hard with occasional charcoal flecks. 

Definition: Extents W just over top of oven roof, elsewhere follows line of upstanding bin walls. 

Execution: Trowel, not fully excavated as runs into baulk section in E (for micromorph. sampling). 

Condition: Dry, covered. 

Consistency: hard 

Colour: silt 80%, clay 20% 

Texture: 10 YR 7/3 very pale brown 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: 5% small charcoal flecks <1mm diameter, 2% salts <1mm diameter, 1% orange burnt silt/clay <1 mm diameter, lenses of more intense charcoal occasionally 

Post-depositional Features:  

Basal Boundary: anthropogenic/smooth/gradual, except in W where it fills a large hollow/surface tapers to E

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.
