Unit 3308

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: fill of posthole 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: posthole; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit

Dimensions: 28 x 27 x 10 

Discussion: Possible posthole fill, seen at surface 3181 however may well have been cut from higher up. Function within midden area is unknown. (SF) 

Recognition: The difference in fill was noticeable in the different texture of the surface, which was less smooth than the surrounding surface and was defined by the circular pattern of the dge of the cut. 

Definition: The layer is defined by the dge of the cut, and was recognised on surface 3181 although it may have gone unrecognised in previous layers. 

Execution: Trowelled, first half-sectioned 

Condition: Very dry, and baked hard. 

Consistency: friable 

Colour: 2.5 Y 6/2-5/2 light brownish grey/grayish brown
