Unit 3243

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: accumulated deposit 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: occupation; Deposition: multiple

Dimensions: 0.75 m N-S x 0.95 m E-W x 0.08-0.12 m 

Discussion: (3243) is soil above a trampled surface (3253). Divided in 4 parts with baulks left between them, the other units being 3228,3241,3242.
The finely sorted material with much charcoal becomes more clayey and gray towards the bottom.
Baulk between (3242) and (3243) dry sieved as (3243). 

Recognition: Darker than infilling above. 

Definition: Clearly defined from soil over/under. 

Execution: Excavated with trowel, divided, leaving baulks. 

Condition: Moist.
