Unit 32144

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: composite midden layer 

Data Category Information: Location: external; Deposition: finely bedded

Discussion: A composite midden layer excavated in the northwestern portion of Sp.631 (grid 4, 7-8, 10-11). The soil was generally more compact in relation to previously excavated midden layers, but the density of material culture was higher.

Dry Sieve volume data by grid:
Grid 4: S3 165L
Grid 10-11: S13 315L
Grid 7-8: S23 525L 

Consistency: firm 

Colour: light grayish brown 

Texture: silty clay 

Bedding: compound layered 

Inclusions: charcoal 2-5%; artefactual 5%; plant and organic remains 5% 

Post-depositional Features: animal burrowing, insects 

Basal Boundary: anthropogenic, clear, and sloping eastward at 20degrees

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
