Unit 4199

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: brick 

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

Dimensions: 53cm x 30 x 6cm 

Discussion: It was quite difficult to note the length of bricks during excavation. They appear from the plan to be very long - ie just over a metre long, but I suspect that this was because the edges were difficult to see.
Generally the bricks + mortar were of consistent depths. 

Recognition: distinguished from the mortar by identifiable whole bricks rather than by particular characteristics - ie very similar in appearance to mortar - thin salt/white material at interfaces 

Definition: east - infill, south - mortar or cut, west edge wall 414, north - mortar infill 

Execution: trowel 

Condition: good 

Consistency: firm 

Colour: grey-orange brown 

Texture: silt 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: very small flecks of charcoal (1mm) <2%, thin spread of black (charcoal?) and white plant impressions - phytoliths at north end interface with mortar, <2% bone (small) #some chunks of hard orange clay 1cm cubed 

Post-depositional Features: salty interfaces 

Basal Boundary: sharp - flat, paralell

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
