Interpretive Categories: Infilling
Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit
Dimensions: 1.6m n-s x 2.2m e-w
Discussion: When excavated this realised after a while that not much infill remaining as 4439-although didn't realise until had taken out quite a bit non-infill material (4446).

Unit description: Flot sample 2623 Transition between floor and infill in space 173. This is the most northern of the three arbitrary units that the space was divided into. The others are 4440 and 4441. Unlike these units there was no bone from the dry sieved material. The colour is generally light brown with a small amount of burn fragments. Nothing is identifiable to element or taxa. Last Number = F.7Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
