Unit 3843

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: collapse,infilling 

Data Category Information: In Situ: non in-situ; Location: building; Material: brick&mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 40 N-S x 100 W-E x 5 cm 

Discussion: Dark grey coloured clay lumps situated on the SW and SE corner of space 155. The cluster of clay lumps goes against the wall. That must be part of the infill, it contains some charcoal and plaster remains (charred) mixed up with reddish plastery reddish coloured building debris. However, its texture and colour suggest similar raw material to the MB's of the wall. If it is not deposited here by the process of infill, then maybe those clay lumps were deliberately brought here?

Possibly some form of collapse during infilling (CC).

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.
