Unit 3230

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: infilling 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 235x 90x 10cm 

Discussion: seventh arbitrary spit of infilling. This context has the dimensions of the space, roughly 235x10x90 cm. It still contained lot of collapsed building debris such as brick aggregates, plaster aggregates. As the removal of the spit adjoined toward the southern part the texture/ consistency of the soil slightly changed from soft friable to moderately compact. Density of the gritty stone particles suggests that this changes occurred due to rain wash material accumulating in this area. Since loosing part of the plaster on the wall can also be explained with this. 

Recognition: 10cm spit not referring to any possible differences 

Definition: by thickness 

Execution: pick axe and trowel 

Condition: moist 

Consistency: soft, friable 

Colour: 10YR 5/4 yellowish brown 

Texture: silty clay, plastic, yellow and sticky 

Bedding: layered, due to remenants of building elements dump 

Inclusions: brick agg (>2cm amd >1-5%), plaster ( >3cm and> 5%) animal bone(>4cm and >2%) 

Post-depositional Features:  

Basal Boundary: not clear due to working with spit so in this case going to be sharp anthropogenic smooth boundary

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
