Unit 4016

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: fill/dumping,floor 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: occupation; Deposition: multiple

Dimensions: depth 2-1.8 cm; length 55 cm; width 35 cm 

Discussion: Eighteenth layer of floor lenses on platform F239. Labelled 37 on plan 98-639.

Possibly this layer was part of a dumping event, it contains bone and charcoal fragments, and plaster lumps, however, not as many bones evident as in layer (4015). It is also possible that this was a floor, made up of different materials. It was also much thicker than any of the other layers seen in this area, and had no lenses visible. 

Recognition: Floor of platform. Colour/texture changes. 

Definition: Defined by limit of excavation. 

Execution: Leaf trowel and patience. 

Condition: Dry. 

Consistency: compact but friable when crushed 

Colour: 7.5 YR 5/3 brown 

Texture: ashy, silty clay 

Bedding: compound layered 

Inclusions: few fragments of bone, charcoal fragments 3% 3-4 mm; plaster frags 10% 5 mm 

Post-depositional Features: roots 

Basal Boundary: fairly smooth, continous, pitted surfaces in few areas
