Unit 4451

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: crawlhole blocking,Fill of crawl hole 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.5m n-s x 0.33m e-w x 0.3m deep 

Discussion: Same as 4321, 4439, 4440, 4441- but separated to allow collection of finds from fill of crawl hole 490. 

Recognition: Recognised because layer 4441 continued eastward into wall 484 when it was being excavated. Investigated showed edges to this fill on western side of wall. Then the virtually whole profile of this crawl hole 490 was seen and recognised for what it was on southern niche of wall 484. Layer same as 4321, 4439, 4440, 4441. 

Definition: In crawl hole between spaces 163 and 173 of Building 6 

Execution: As for 4439 

Condition: As for 4439 

Consistency: As for 4439 

Colour: As for 4439 

Texture: As for 4439 

Bedding: As for 4439 

Inclusions: As for 4439 

Post-depositional Features: Root disturbance on eastern side, following lines of plaster and loosening them. 

Basal Boundary: Comes off, a deposit of phytolith/ coprolite similar to 4444. Also in floors it comes off the hard brick base which is the truncated remains of wall 484.

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.
