Unit 3947

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: fill of foundation cut,fill of post hole 

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

Dimensions: 0.27 N/S x 0.19 m E/W x 0.17 m 

Discussion: (3947) represents a small, mixed deposit in cut (3948). It was made up of mixed bricky material of the floors and occupation deposits around it. It is difficult to interpret in its own right as it has been truncated by the post retreival cut (2712) to the W. It underlies the S end of F289 but has no direct relationship to this so does not appear to have been linked to its construction. 

Recognition: A mixed deposit with red brick lumps at the S end of cut (2712). 

Definition: Defined by salt encrustation. 

Execution: Trowel/leaf.
