Unit 4351
Category: layer dug in 1999
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: infill
Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous
Dimensions: 1m60cm / 50cm / 30cm deep
Discussion: Believed to be infill between wall 401 + west wall of shrine 10, building 6. But whilst excavating realised that it consists of 2 deposits - upper layer is 4340 - infill between wall 401 + west wall shrine 10, building 6, and the lower 4321 extends eastwards under walls of space 159. This unit has been split off into 2 to seperate these events.
This deposit is a mix of 4340 + 4321
No samples taken because mixed deposit slit off
Recognition: infill between wall 401 and west wall of shrine 10, building 6
Definition: north - north wall shrine 10 level VII, south - south wall space 160, east - west wall shrine 10, building 6, west - wall 401
