Unit 3359

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: building infill 

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

Dimensions: 0.29 x 0.23 x 0.14 m 

Discussion: (3359) represents a layer of soft, umixed material which was the uppermost layer of those that were cut into to provide the foundation for wall F.56 (cut (3305)). It was a mixed, rubbishy layerand could be the product of an accumulation of waste material in the corner of walls F.278 and F.281. 

Recognition: Soft, rich, organic material that was clearly different from the bricks of F.281 and F.278 to either side of it. 

Definition: Defined by cracking/difference in material. 

Execution: Pick and trowel. 

Condition: Dry. 

Consistency: friable 

Colour: 2.5 Y 5/3 light olive brown 

Texture: silt 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: 5% bone (large pieces); 5% charcoal (flecks, small and medium sized pieces); 2% tiny pebbles, 2% plaster flecks 

Post-depositional Features: salt encrustation 

Basal Boundary: irregular/the material beneath was firmer and less mixed in the corner of walls F.278 and F.281, so was given a separate unit number
