Unit 3710

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor make up 

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

Dimensions: 0.55 m N-S x [0.90] m E-W; up to 0.06 m thick 

Discussion: Layer of silty clay, mixed deposit, predominantly brown but with grey and pale cream (light grey Munsell) plaster deposits, lumps (up to 15%) presumably make up layer to floors above (thick + mixed deposit), thins towards N edge, continues to W as (3717). 

Recognition: Recognised during excavation of floor layers above or after floor layers excavated. 

Definition: Clearly defined on N side, to E side unit defined by baulk, layer as a whole does not appear to run through the baulk but whether it did originally, who knows? To W unit defined by grid, layer as a whole continues to N, but W edge yet to be defined, may continue into space 151. To S defined by wall.
