Unit 4285

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: foundation cut; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 6cm ~ 70cm by 60cm/20cm 

Discussion: Infill is between wall 403 + 401, it ends at the base of wall 403.

Poss. infill post construction of wall 403 hwr in this cut 4336 hwr no way of ascertaining this as could be infill between two walls as found between abutting walls. I feel the former however is more likely as the cut which undercuts wall 401 would have been unstable.SF

So wall 401 (+ 400) were cut (4336) to the south to construct space 160 wall 403 was constructed + 4285 infilled the gap.

14/6 During post-ex. this deposit was identified as probably the same as 4269 (see that sheet) SF 

Recognition: Infill inbetween wall 403 + 401. Grey with inclusions - very friable.
