Unit 3672

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: fire debris 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: occupation; Deposition: multiple

Dimensions: 0.44 m N-S x 0.15 m E-W; 0.01 m thick 

Discussion: Ash layer on top of floor (3680), same as (3673) to E of baulk. It occurs within confines of plaster feature with rims F.289. Don't know where ash is generated from, the floor beneath shows no scorching. Possibly from fire installation to W. 

Recognition: Grey ashy layer within confines of F.289. 

Definition: Eliptical shaped deposit, deposited on top of floor and against fire installation and plaster feature in W. Continues into baulk in E. Beyond this it is called (3673). 

Execution: Leaf. 

Condition: Hot. 

Consistency: loose at top, friable beneath 

Colour: 2.5 Y 5/2 to 3/2 grayish brown to very dark greyish brown 

Texture: ash 70% silt 30% 

Bedding: layered, thin layers/lenses of pale yellow plaster discontionous 

Inclusions: 20% charcoal flecks 1 mm to 5 mm, 2% salt flecks <1 mm, <10-20% orange flecks (organic residue) mostly towards base (sampled in (3673)), thin lenses of yellow plaster, discontinous 5% 

Post-depositional Features: salts 

Basal Boundary: abrupt/anthropogenic/smooth/sloping down to E
