Unit 3610

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: sub-floor deposit 

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

Dimensions: 1.06 x 0.31 x 

Discussion: (3610) represents an irregular deposit of very crumbly, blocky material in the northern half of space 117, beneath floor layers (3605). Its surface was fairly smooth and level, in contrast to the very irregular surface of a variety of deposits which it overlay. It lipped up to a plastered surface (possible platform) and may have been placed there to level the surface of the deposits to the W of this. 

Recognition: Distinguished by its blocky/crumbly texture and homogenous brown colouring. 

Definition: Defined by salt encrustation. 

Execution: Trowel/leaf. 

Condition: Dry and crumbly. 

Consistency: friable 

Colour: 2.5 Y 5/3 light olive brown 

Texture: silty clay 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: occasional charcoal flecks/pebbles/stones 

Post-depositional Features: salt encrustation 

Basal Boundary: an irregular, wavy basal boundary, it was sharp and clear in places, but elsewhere, the similarity of (3610) to the layers beneath, made the boundary hard to distinguish, it was marked by salt encrustation for much of its extents

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.
