Unit 31867

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: Unit 31867 was recognised as a rubble in 2015 but not excaveted. It was lifted at the begining of the 2016 season. It is an infill
located in south-eastern part of Sp. 595. It was placed on a distinctively plastered SE platform, most likely belonging to one of the latest reconstructions of B. 150 and recorded as Sp. 578 (F. 3855, u.20737), and directly against eastern wall of B. 150 (F. 3856). This unit, along with a sequence of infill layers directly above, was later truncated from the north by a large W-E wall (F.3852). The unit has a form of rubble made of blocks of clay. Fragments of plaster were also identified, possibly fallen off the wall (F. 3856). Different types of archaeologial material were evenly distributed throughout the unit. Animal bones were mostly found near the eastern wall (F.3856). The unit was excaveted by handpick and trowel. 

Consistency: Mostly strong, loose in some part (in a SE corner). 

Colour: Grey on the top turned to orangish, brown and red. 

Texture: Mostly clay 

Bedding: Layered 

Inclusions: Organic remains: charcoal; Aggregates: plaster (grey, medium) 

Post-depositional Features: None 

Basal Boundary: Antropoghenic, prominent, smooth, uneven.

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.
