Unit 3747

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: c.1.60 m N-S x c. 1.0 m E-W x 0.10 m thick 

Discussion: This layer infill was pretty much the same as 3604. It was made arbitrarily anyway. Underneath this layer came out on the N part of the unit, smooth surfaces, but towards the S the surfaces got wavy, unclear and hard to distinguish. It was a surprise that nothing like floors came out of this part of the space. The floors must have been worn down by time and never renewed at this part of the space. 

Recognition: It is same as 3604, made artificially. 

Definition: Defined by wall on E, S and W sides. 

Execution: Mattock and trowel, staring from the N to the S. 

Condition: Moist. 

Consistency: firm 

Colour: 10 YR 5/4 yellowish brown, the plaster is 5 Y 8/2 pale yellow, the grey clayish deposits within are 10 YR 5/1 gray 

Texture: silt loam 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: 10 % flecks and fragments of charcoal, <2% flecks of phytoliths, 10% fragments and pieces of plaster, 10% brick aggregates, 10% clayish grey material that would be mortar 

Post-depositional Features: animal holes and root activity 

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
