Unit 3788

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: building dump 

Data Category Information: Location: external; Deposition: coarsely bedded (dumps)

Dimensions: 8 cm by 60 cm by c.7 cm 

Discussion: Looks like a discrete dump of building material, fairly solid spread, although to the W intermixed with more patchy soft material. As we dug towards the W the material again became more solid and a lot harder. We isolated this changed material which may be a wall and thus defines the W extent of (3788). 

Recognition: Contains a lot of building material, brown on same horizon as (3773). 

Definition: N extent - midden section. E -abutts (3773) (which also continues underneath it), S - abutts (3773) (which also continues below). W - defined by possible wall. 

Execution: Mattock. 

Condition: Very dry. 

Consistency: Very compact. 

Colour: Between 10 YR 6/3 + 5/3 pale brown + brown, also areas of 10 YR 6/4 + 5/4 light yellowish brown/yellowish brown and 10 YR 5/6 yellowish brown 

Texture: very clayey clay, but baked hard 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: pottery, some bone, stone, all rare, hardly any inclusions except plaster 

Post-depositional Features: n/a 

Basal Boundary: fairly abrupt/distinct/wavy/smooth

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.
