Unit 3307

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Wall Material 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick&mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 0.67 x 0.46 x 0.23 

Discussion: 3307 represents the upper 2 courses of brick of wall 58. On removal, they were clearly bounded / intersecting with the bricks of East-West running wall 67 to the West. The remainder of the wall to the south had already been removed. The bricks beneath were removed for dry sieving with the mortar. 

Recognition: A sandy hamageneous layer clearly distuingishable in wall 58. 

Definition: Defined by cracking and salt encrustation from the walls around and the mortar of wall 58. 

Execution: Pick and trowel. 

Condition: Slightly damp. 

Consistency: Firm. 

Colour: 10YR 6/4 light yellowish brown. 

Texture: Sandy silt loam. 

Bedding: Massive, very homogeneous. 

Inclusions: <2% charcoal flecks; <2% plant silicats; <2% burnt clay (small pieces); <2% clay. 

Post-depositional Features: Salt encrustation and animal burrowing. 

Basal Boundary: A sharp, clear, constructional basal boundary. The surface in between 3307 and 3317 (the brick and Mortar of wall 58) was level and smooth.

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.
