Unit 32346

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: levelling 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: building; Material: plaster; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: the inclusions of fired clay, perhaps to increase the wearability /strength of 32346 suggests that it was a foramtion deposit for a later horizon. Its distinctiveness from 32327 clearly separated 32346 from this context, 32346 = the formation for 32327? BUT why is it present only at the soth west of the sunken area? There was no indictaion that this area was unstable of subsiding. 32366 does sit proud of 32389, perhaps 32346 was a levelling along the edge of 32366 before 32327 was laid. But again why only in this location? 32366 was only present in this location and too may have been a levelling deposit..

There was a slight slope westwards of 32389 and therefore togther with 32366, 32346 can been interpreted as a lelling layer.

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
