Unit 3714

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: collapse 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit

Dimensions: c.0.6 x 0.5 x 0.05 m 

Discussion: This collapse was lying under the ashy layer (3641). It's not actually a layer but parts of collapsed material like mortar, plaster and brick. Everything has been very much disturbed so it was hard to distinguish the real dimensions of the collapsed matter. After this was dug out, it was clearly understood that this material does not lie in a pit, so the bear claw does not either. 

Recognition: A collapse that was recognised before ashy layer (3641) was out, but that became clearer when the unit was finished. Recognition was made by the difference of colour and texture. 

Definition: Defined by wall at W, cuts on other places. 

Execution: Trowel and leaf trowel. 

Condition: Dry. 

Consistency: firm 

Colour: colour of the collapsed plaster is 2.5 Y 8/1 white; colllapsed mortar 10 YR 6/2 light brownish grey; collapsed soil 10 YR 5/4 brown and it has 10 YR 5/4 dark grayish brown clayish stuff in it 

Texture: clay loam 

Bedding: massive, but the collpased plaster was layered with fine lenses 

Inclusions: 10% flecks of charcoal, 15-20% building material fragments (like mortar, plaster, brick), 20% grey clayish deposit 

Post-depositional Features: disturbance by animals 

Basal Boundary: sharp

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
