Unit 3758

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floors,infill 

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

Dimensions: c. 0.8 m N-S x c. 1.0 m E-W x c. 0.02 m deep 

Discussion: This layer was first interpreted as infill over floor, but during excavation at some points of the unit (the middle area) the deposit came out as very fine floors. But this is not the case for all of the unit. On the E side of the unit the deposit has an infill character to it and it is massive. In the N part of the layer there were grey clayish stuff stuck to the floor. I could not find good floor underneath this unit on the W part of the place. This whole deposit seems to be a left over of removing floors from a room. The floor I came upon is not a very clean floor. 

Recognition: Distinctive colour and texture beneath collapse (3714) which looks like infill and is very similar to (3747) in colour (note that the border between (3758) and (3747) is arbitrary). 

Definition: Layer of infill in the middle of space 159 bordered by excavation at S, grey floor at N and wall at E and W. 

Execution: Leaf trowel. 

Condition: Dry. 

Consistency: firm 

Colour: the main deposit colour 10 YR 7/2 light grey but there are many lenses, for colours look at bedding 

Texture: silty 

Bedding: there are at least 4 layers within this deposit, the top one seems to be infill, the one underneath an ashy lens which has the colour 10 YR 5/1 gray, a lighter coloured layer underneath which has the colour 10 YR 7/1 light grey and a yellow layer underneath which is 10 YR 8/2 very pale brown 

Inclusions: <2% flecks of charcoal, 5% flecks of phytolith 

Post-depositional Features: salts and some fine roots (lots of animal activity) 

Basal Boundary: clear/sharp/anthropogenic

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.
