Unit 4467

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor layers? 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: mixed; Deposition: composite (floor/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Dimensions: 0.68m N-S ; 0.15m ; 0.06m ( max. depth ) 

Discussion: (4467) was a remnant of floor layers attached to the W. face of wall F.447. Initially in section, the layers were not very clearly defined, but became so during ex. There were seven layers - a 5mm ash/charcoal deposit at base, overlain by light brown clayey silt (5-10 mm) , overlain by orangey brown clayey silt, then light brown, then orangey brown, then a thin line of off-white plaster, then a slightly thicker pale brown clayey silt. Following the line of slope from S. down to N., (4467) appears to be in phase with floor layers (4466). 

Recognition: multi-colored floor layers 

Definition: boundaries with upper & lower deposits clearly defined by colour 

Execution: sectioned and troweled 

Condition: v. slightly moist 

Consistency: firm 

Colour: l. to mid brown/orangey-l.brown/off-white plaster/grey/black ash and charcoal 

Texture: v slightly clayey silts (clay <5%) plaster-slightly clayey? silt? 

Bedding: compound layered 

Inclusions: freq. charcoal flecks in lower layer ( approx. 40% ) 

Post-depositional Features: none 

Basal Boundary: constructional, sharp, prominent, smooth

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded
