Unit 4120

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Wall collapse 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick&mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.2 metres 

Discussion: Collapse of plaster, bricks and matter from f66 into the eastern end of space 117. Happened overnight between 12/04 and 13/04 as a result of a number of factors: climatic, biological and exposure. Not added to running matrix as it is a recent event, not within current stratigraphy being excavated.
