Unit 3353

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: bin wall 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: bin; Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.46 m E-W x 0.52 m N-S, 0.12 m wide, 0.06 m high 

Discussion: White plaster/clay walls for bin F.256. Thought that oven F.268 truncated horizontally from above leaving roof of oven still intact coming out of beginning of walls. (3374) and (3353) for bin F.256 added on top of this. The walls straddle both the truncated top of oven and the untruncated front (see sketch profile on unit sheet).

Seem to be simple build unlike complicated sequence of bin F.257 to E. This bin only has (3353), (3374) and (3367) for its walls and uses wall F.79 to S and wall F.93 to W. A N/S baulk section was left for micromorphology sample (3365/53). This section was drawn [98-422] and afterwards the rest of (3353) was excavated. 

Recognition: The top has been visible since last year but when (3175) was removed it was seen as a separate deposit from oven build being a vey light brown/grey silty clay with horizontal boundary with oven beneath it. 

Definition: Rectangular (? S side) deposit "C" -shaped. Abutts wall F.71 in S and wall F.93 in W. 

Execution: Leaf, trowel. Initially 1/2 sectioned EW and aslo small baulk left N/S for micromorphology. 

Condition: Dry, covered, been exposed since last year. 

Consistency: hard 

Colour: 2.5 YR 7/2 light grey 

Texture: clay 50% silt 50% 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: 5% white flecks <3 mm of salts/phytoliths, 1% grey silt lenses, <1 % charcoal flecks <5 mm 

Post-depositional Features: truncated to E by last year's baulk section (N/S), salts 

Basal Boundary: anthrpogenic/horizontal/smooth; oven F.268 thought to be truncated horizontally then wals (3353) placed on top; surface walls slope down to within oven and S towards outside

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
