Unit 3385

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: part of structure of feature 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: basin; Material: mortar; Deposition: layered (wall plaster)

Dimensions: 0.38 m NE-SW, up to 0.15 m wide; up to 0.22 m deep 

Discussion: Not sure how to interpret this unit at present, small depsoit of material behind the plaster wall (3371). It appears different to the material making up the main bulk of the feature [280] but this difference may be more apparent than real and due to differences in soil moisture, although (3385) does appear more grey rather than brown. But crack present between (3385) and the main part of the feature. 

Recognition: Recognised on removal of plaster layer (3371), light grey colour contrasting with brown of context immediately to S, also crack along boundary, may turn out to be same as material behind but pre-ex. appear distinct. 

Definition: Clear. 

Execution: Trowel, some material left in baulk.
