Unit 3347

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

Data Category Information: Location: external; Deposition: finely bedded

Dimensions: 0.72 x 0.71 x 0.390 

Description: poss VII 

Discussion: (3347) consists of a layer of soft ash and charcoal rich material which was the remnant of a few larger deposit (1066) wihin space 105. What was left of it was a sliver at the material above the surface of wall F.28, along its E and S extents. It appears to be one of several layers of "rubbishy" material (including (3359) and (3730)) that accumulated over a period of in-filling of space 105 (to the S). 

Recognition: A soft ashy layer that was clearly different to those above and beneath. 

Definition: Defined by its different material. 

Execution: Trowel and pick. 

Condition: Dry. 

Consistency: friable-loose 

Colour: 2.5 Y 4/2 dark greyish brown 

Texture: ashy silt 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: 10 % charcoal (flecks, small and medium sized pieces), 2% stone (large pieces) (including 1 worked piece), 5% plaster (small and medium sized pieces), <2% shell, <2% hackberry, 2% bone, <2% clay (small pieces) 

Post-depositional Features: salt encrustation and severe disturbance caused by animal burrowing 

Basal Boundary: the basal boundary was sharp and distinct, the surface between (3347) and (3348) beneath was smooth and level, with the material beneath distinguished by its clay make up

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.
