Unit 3605

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor layers 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: floor (packing only); Material: pise-like; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 1.16 x 0.48 x 0.05 

Discussion: (3605) represents an irregular edged deposit of fine compact material from the NW corner of space 117. It appeared to extend through the baulk into the adjacent segment of this space to the W. It was made up of fine layers of grey/brown /white plaster/silt material. It could be the result of attempts to repair or level the floor of building 2 during its use. 

Recognition: (3605) was composed of a denser, browner material than that surrounding it. 

Execution: Trowel (leaf). 

Condition: Dry. 

Consistency: friable 

Colour: varied in plan but 10 YR 6/3 pale brown on exacavation 

Texture: chalky silt 

Bedding: compound layered 

Inclusions: occasional charcoal (flecks), clay (flecks), pebbles (tiny), and plant silicates, with small patches of plaster 

Post-depositional Features: salt encrustation, especially towards the base of the deposit 

Basal Boundary: a sharp/clear/anthropogenic basal boundary, this was defined by salt encrustation, the surface was smooth and level

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.
