Unit 3783

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: pit fill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: posthole; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit

Dimensions: 0.58 m N-S x 0.40 m E-W x c.0.13 m deep 

Discussion: This is the fill of a pit located respecting the W wall of space 159. It was quite a mixed fill, had constructional aggregates in it and so it was quite hard to distinguish the extent on the S part of it because it looked so much like the infill there it was also hard to define the boundary because again it laid upon infill, which is very similar to (3783). 

Recognition: After the excavation of fill (3779), the traces of a cut could barely be noticed. The difference in colour with the surrounding soil is not much. 

Definition: A layer inside a pit. 

Execution: Trowel, 1/2 sectioned. 

Condition: Moist, good. 

Consistency: firm 

Colour: 10 YR 5/3 brown 

Texture: silty clay loam 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: 10% big pieces of plaster (2.5 Y 7/2 light gray); 20% pieces of clayey stuff, probably mortar (10 YR 5/1 gray); 10% flecks of phytolith 

Post-depositional Features: salt crystalization (flecks to medium sized pieces) animal and insect activity 

Basal Boundary: irregular and a little bit unclear basal boundary

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.
