Unit 3918

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: sealing of fire installation 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: oven; Material: plaster; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.68 m E-W x 0.4 m N-S x 

Discussion: Thin plaster layer whithin confines of fire installation F.290. Initially thought to be part of a sealing off process of an earlier fire installation but now thought to be part of the make up for F.290. It is either truncated/churned up when (3914) is deposited as it never fully covered base of this. It could be somewhere to slop left over plaster and constitues part of make up. 

Recognition: Seen as a yellowish white plaster concave layer beneath (3914) when it was excavated. 

Definition: Within confines of F.290. 

Execution: Leaf. 

Condition: Hot. 

Consistency: compact 

Colour: 2.5 YR 7/3 pale yellow 

Texture: massive 

Bedding: clay 90%, silt 10% 

Inclusions: occ.lenses brown silt, 1% white salts 1/2 mm 

Post-depositional Features: very patchy and possibly truncated from above, it is probably redeposited in (3914) above it, top N side seems burnt 

Basal Boundary: anthropogenic/irregular/clear
