Unit 3620

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floors,infill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: occupation; Deposition: composite (floor/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Dimensions: 80 m N-S x 1.7 m E-W x 0.06 m thick 

Discussion: This is an arbitrary layer underneath arbitrary layer (3343) and layer (3379). During the excavation of (3379) the E part of space was not excavated because we thought that it was another deposit, but were never really sure about it. Well, during the excavation of unit (3620) it was understood that in that part of the building there is another wall. But it has not come out that well yet. From the inclusions within the deposit, it is understood that it is infill.

Reinterpreted as floors (sf June 2000) 

Recognition: ARBITRARY LAYER UNDER (3343) and (3379) in space 160, defined by a ridge of E, wall at N, wall at W and section + wall at S. 

Definition: Arbitrary layer that is infill. 

Execution: Mattock and trowel. 

Condition: Very hard. 

Consistency: firm 

Colour: the deposit itself: 2.5 Y 6/2 light brownish grey; plaster: 2.5 Y 8/2 pale yellow; brick aggregates: 10 YR 6/4 light yellowish brown 

Texture: silty clay 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: <2% flecks of charcoal, quite a lot of plaster and brick aggregates

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  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
