Unit 4292

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: fill 

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

Dimensions: 0.2m diameter 0.11 depth max 

Discussion: Backfill in small cut for obsidian cluster 4280. Backfill very similar to surrounding deposit which this cut cuts 4254 but more finely textured . 4254 is interpreted as rakeout associated with fire installation 416. 

Recognition: not recognized until the obsidian cluster 4280 was encountered 

Definition: fill was definbed (difficult) very similar to the surrounding deposit 4254 , however the difference was noticed in the abundance and size of charcoal 

Execution: trowel, leaf trowel , brush - initially half section 

Condition: slightly damp close to the surface 

Consistency: moderately compact 

Colour: mid-grey yellow 

Texture: sandy - silt 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: 20% flecks small fragments of charcoal 10% salts flecks and fragments; 5% phytoliths; 2% small fragments of building debris 

Post-depositional Features: some root activity and also truncation via Mellaart excavations 

Basal Boundary: diffuse, shares charateristics with underlying deposits , however, change felt witht the texture - bala boundary greasy
